Adobe Illustrator God?

FIX THIS EPS please... beretta.zip contains the EPS file since I cannot attach an EPS file to the post.

It's not right.

As you can see in the attached image the A legs are not equal, the R legs are not equal and the center leg of the E is not even with the center leg of the B... Someone has to be able to fix this to make it right. Once this is done we will have the an exact original copy of the Beretta logo.

I also attached a photo of my filler with the proper txt look. You can SEE the difference between these two.

GM was not consistent with the beretta font in the cars.

I don't care... I want this EPS right so when spend all this time and money getting Indy decals replicated I don't get told the Beretta font is wrong. Same reason why I'm not doing windshield banners anymore.

Can you widen your area focus? Almost looks like you have it on spot or center.
And it sure seems like you are too close. You may have to move back, then blow the photo up and crop it. Looks like the camera had a small fish eye on it.

The photo is for REFERENCE I need someone to fix the EPS file of the Beretta logo so it looks the same. And if you don't understand that then never mind I must be crazy when I look at that EPS and see the things I see wrong with it.

Just look at the E on the filler, now look at the E in the image JUST below it... tell me they are the same. Same goes for the Legs of the A. Look at the digital version and SEE what I'm seeing.

Does this better explain what I want fixed in the ZIP file attached.

I see it. It almost looks that way in the photo if you look close. That is why I thought the photo was the problem(or the camera settings). I mean the software is working off the photo right?
But I agree there must be some way to fix that in the software.

No this is a logo that is on brands of the world website that Woody keeps pushing is the EXACT logo but he is apparently not seeing the issues I see. The photo I went out and took today to have someone COMPARE the EPS file and how it looks on the filler to see whats wrong with it. They are not connected in any way. I used this EPS file to make the windshield banners and thats when I was told about the issues with it, Also if you look at the forum logo, those same issues are there as well.

If you see any leg width difference in the picture its from bad chrome not showing up well, but you can obviously see that the E is lined up perfectly with the B

Ok that clears things up. I'm so far out of touch I don't know what can and can't be done. I see it in the logo too, other than the fact that the bottom of the "E" are too close. But hey the logo is fine with me.
Any way to use your photo in windows paint and change it to black and white?

Not a good idea to work off the photo. The EPS image is a Vector Graphic meaning it can be blown up to whatever size and resolution you need.. my picture was taken with a 8mp camera phone... aka POS

Bottom line I just need to find someone who knows Adobe Illustrator more than I do. I do not know how to manipulate that image OR if I even can so that would mean someone would probably have to redraw the letter following the outline of the original and modify the inside to be right.

the beretta "font" is also wrong its close just too squished... I just spent a little while poking around since I was frustrated and I think I may have gotten it...

I was wrong I don't have that font anymore anyway.

In order to manipulate the font, you'd have to go to select it, go to Type, then Create Outlines. Once you do that, you can use the Selection Tool to manipulate and move the anchor points to adjust it.

I'm on it. Hold on.

Here are two PDFs with the corrected letters. One is spaced normally, and other is widely spaced like the filler panel.

Dang 3X00 you need a better camera. Nah it's all about the CMOS senser's size. The bigger the better. The gimmick is high Mp's alot of zoom and a small CMOS.
