Arching A Logo

[Signs4Realtors]

Thank You! Just a design suggestion, I recommend changing the colors between tri state tuners and .com to make it more readable (it all runs together). Also, I recommend making the logo smaller to the lettering can sit higher on the windshield.

I've never seen one done at the bottom. How will it be clear of the windshield wipers? If the wipers are allowed to touch it, their motion will wear out the graphic in very short order.

Sometimes one program just might not be able to do it for you... Signwizard 6 has an awesome distortion feature.

But in your screenshot, There are two different distortions to get that effect, "arc" and "arch". You are using arc. try arch.

you could try creating path text. make the path first and then apply the text to it. then fit that logo thing on it.

you where right on point there. after i re read ur post and looked again my my options there it was. using arch instead of arc. i completely overlooked it and didnt even see is there.

Thanks to all for your help. i know i can be confusing some times.

Aha!
Thanks for posting the pix.
I guess the bottom of a windshield would not be that much different than the top.
Glad this is just for a show!
PS
I hate working with chrome.

Fred, I clicked on the link to the tutorial that you posted and got a message telling me "you do not have permission to access this page."
What's up with this ?

In flexi you want to use the arch distortion not the arc to get your desired fit.
