Thanks Tom but I still don't get it.  If you compare these two images [ATTACH]29848[/ATTACH][ATTACH]29844[/ATTACH] you should see clear distortion between the first and the second.  The second one, to which I applied live trace, is all wonky.  I am very unfamiliar with AI, but I have AI CS5.1 on this Mac that I use.  I opened the EPS in Photoshop and it shows the same distortion in the shape of the letters as in AI, only (of course) it's pixelated.  I may have completely misunderstood your long post above. 

Besmirched, I can't remake most of the logos I receive as my clients usually have original artwork that I shouldn't mess with.  I usually can't get a hold of the designer's original work, which would make my job easier.
