… and there’s a package for that:  Metalogo provides commands to adjust the standard logos.  I did this for the Rotis semi-serif script in my letters and invoices:
---
\documentclass{article}
\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{pr1}
\usepackage{metalogo}
\setlogokern{La}{-0.2em}%
\setlogokern{aT}{-0.1em}%
\setlogokern{Te}{-0.13em}%
\setlogokern{eX}{-0.1em}%{-0.11em}%
\setlogodrop[TeX]{0.4ex}%{0.531ex}%
\setLaTeXa{\raisebox{0.5em}{\scalebox{0.8}{\textsc{A}}}}%

\begin{document}
\centering
\resizebox{\textwidth}{!}{\LaTeXe}%
\end{document}
