Make me slightly uncomfortable. What do you want all that attention for? Why are you screaming your own name? Are you having an identity crisis?
I thought it looked formal and trademarky ?
Never has all caps looked formal, has it?
Business systems from the 80s used to automatically convert everything name related to caps. It made it easier to do string matching which was generally case sensitive in the DB. It also made data entry easier as you just turn capslock on and type.
No so much formal as lazy semi-formal.
