Quoted from dr_nybble:This font (OCR-B) looks much closer:

Lower the dots on the i in Williams and it's looking really good.
The reason OCR-B was commonly used back then is because it was computer generated and it's a font that computers, of that era, could read and recognize the characters.
The whole Williams logo needs to be readjusted, actually. Repositioning the dots is one thing, but you'll also need to modify the shape of lots of the other letters in the name. That'll need to be done node by node, too, as the curvatures of some letters are off as well as the little left-side flag on the first "i". Basically, anywhere you see "shadowing" or "doubling" needs to be fixed.
What's also happening is you're using a modern program(like Illustrator or CorelDraw or whatever) that has a different kerning rule for text and the fonts used from the standard that was used back when this label was made. It's nobody's fault, standards changing just happens over time. Sometimes you can just scale the text box that holds the letters, but other times, you'll have to adjust the actual kerning value in the text pulldown.
Just to be sure, before you start making these final adjustments, take a really nice straight-on picture with plenty of other light that's not the flash. Another word of advice is to never trust a downloaded logo. So many people out there are hacks and either just wham-bam it out and leave lots of inaccuracies or use a picture to just have a tracing program do the work for them and call it good. Neither situation is good. These people just want the downloads/clicks.
