“Because the modified version was never modified! Someone ‘sharpened’ the original, and that modified a few pixels that now make the ‘E’ look more like a ‘K’.”

OK, I admit I haven’t been reading every single post here — actually, far from it — so I might be a little behind. But it still makes no sense to me. You’re saying that the original is the higher-resolution bottom photo? And someone modified it to change the “E” to a “K” and the “O” to a “6”? And, in the process of modifying it, not only sharpened it but also drastically reduced its resolution down to what you see in the top photo? So basically the reverse of what was being claimed by the starter of this thread?

What the?

No - the opposite, the original was a lower resolution. And someone, with good intentions I’m sure, tried to make it easier to read, and used something to sharpen the image. This would make the file larger, and make many elements easier to read, but in doing so, the ‘E’ starts to look more like a ‘K’.
