Is ikutaMachine supposed to be the transcription of 生田真心? The official reference site handles it like that.
And the logo implies this, too. Seeing as the blue 真 corresponds to the "Ma" in Machine.
Also, while the logo capitalizes the I (and the artists listing), they repeatedly make use of the small i. What should we use for the entry? I'd go for the capital I because of the logo.

Definitely seems correct. Looking at the Kanjis on Wikipedia, it's pretty much obvious that that is the Kanji of IkutaMachine. Several translators even get 生田 to be Ikuta.

Ikuta is a common reading of 生田. While less common, 真心 can be read as "Mashin" => "Machine".
Lowercase i is correct since ikutaMachine is the official transcription, which takes precedence over a stylized logo (same reason we use a capital I for IDOLM@STER, for example).
