How to create a smooth face in this horrible render?

Hi there, I was wondering if you could help me figure out how to create a smooth surface (with bevel) out of this design, so I can 3D print it. I am fairly new to 3D design and when I imported this file from illustrator (and gave it thickness) blender created this normal out of it, which doesn’t show up great in the render and creates an impossible face to work with. [sl logo problem face] I thought to remove the front and back face and create a plain normal, but this doesn’t help the rend…

also, you can try the addon SVG to Grease pencil…just activate it!
