I would not use that. The curves are way off compared to the original logo, and for example, the a at the top is shortened a little in real, and the corners are not the same diameter as the thickness in the real Namco logo. Guess other letters have similar tweaks as well. That namco font looks really bad. I think you are better off reshaping letters from the Namco logo here:

Not spot on, but a better font to start with I guess.

thats the one that i used  in the end ;)
in fact, the logo that in the first post is displayed is that file.. (saved as a JPG)
In the bezel i used the eps ofcourse..

it was for the "manufactured by....."  part, but thats completely different to that
so i found another that did the job for the "manufactured" part
