Doepfer

What is the reason for the extra space at the top & the bottom in the travel
suitcase (ie the place where it says 'doepfer analogue....'

Is it:
- because there is something in there that needs the extra space?
- because doepfer could only by 14U cases?
- so there would be room to advertise doepfer at the top & bottom?

I find the huge letters a bit ugly (especially since it's repeated at the
top and the bottom), and takes away from the "classiness" of it all.  Is
there a specific physical reason for these, or was it simply a design ?
