IronicSans.com is hosting a (surprisingly difficult) multiple-choice quiz in which 20 logos employing Helvetica are juxtaposed with Arial-substituted facsimiles. Modesty forbids that I reveal my score, but if you've got a couple of minutes spare, click here.

So what was your score?
20
15 ... but quite frankly, some of them I couldn't see any difference between! Mattel !!
yes, mattel, staples and toyota were all a bit dodgy... arial's A is a tad more 'splayed', and the M more 'squished', and the middle arm of the E is a tiny bit higher on Arial... i think the S on the 'Arial' Staples is wrong, and the TOYOTAs were also suspect!
The G is very different, Helvetica can appear slightly blurred compared to arial, plus the differences you mentioned :)
I got 20/20 :D
Also Helvetica appears slightly more chunky
The whole font is alot more chunky than arial
