The "R", "r", and "t" characters are the way you can tell between the two fonts.

I think an example of a bad logo is Arial is this one:

The A has too much space around it and it looks "uneven".

The bottom one of this one is Helvetica.

It looks "fuller", "denser" to me. And leaves me with an impression of a "sturdy" company.

Finally, here's Neue Helvetica 75 and Arial Pro Bold pages from Linotype. I just open them up in a new tab each and switch tabs to get a better idea for things.

I’m not sure I see a huge quality difference in the second example, but the A in the first example definitely looks awful.

You can type "MIRABEAU" in Arial and Helvetica in the forms above, and you should see a definite improvement by using Helvetica.
