Yep, I know one can use the free transform or scale tools to resize text in a frame at will. With a logo I would say something like hinting isn't important. And in Illy, I would also use live type--with the exception of handing off to a customer. I likely would provide both the original AI and an outlined version for broader applicability.
In-house only? I would still do the above. Why? Sometimes I just dislike what ID does when say viewing in Overprint Preview to graphics built in it. Export to PDF is fine, viewing in ID isn't always.
Anyway, the OP has options.
Take care, Mike
