Abstract: In this short note, we prove that for a $C^{\ast }$-algebra $aa$ generated by $n$ elements, $M_k(ildeaa)$ is generated by $k$ mutually unitarily equivalent and almost mutually orthogonal projections for any $$. Then combining this result with recent works of Nagisa, Thiel and Winter on the generators of $C^{\ast }$--algebras, we show that for a $C^{\ast }$-algebra $aa$ generated by finite number of elements, there is $dge3$ such that $M_d(ildeA)$ is generated by three mutually unitarily equivalent and almost mutually orthogonal projections. Furthermore, for certain separable purely infinite simple unital $C^{\ast }$--algebras and $AF$--algebras, we give some conditions that make them be generated by three mutually unitarily equivalent and almost mutually orthogonal projections.
