Greets!<P>I am trying to figure out how to move text into circles and banners. I am working on a new version of the Sheriff logo at http://www.libcoop.net/macshe/ <P>And cannot figure out how to make the MACOMB COUNTY text. I looked on Doc's site and some others, but couldn't find a tutorial on how to do it.<P>Any ideas?<P>------------------

There are a few ways of doing this.
You can do it in Illstrator using the Type to Path tool, or you can do it the hard way in photoshop. I use Ill, but have done tutorials on how to do it Photoshop.
Here is a link to a good tutorial. http://www.screamdesign.com/graphics/photoshop/tips/textfx/txtfx4.html <P>But again keep in mind that this is the hard way of doing it.
Thanks

Hi Pugzly! If you just want to get away from flat everyday text, why not try using the Filter > Distort options in Ps.
or for a circle text tute, try http://www.designsbymark.com/pstips/text_circletext.shtml ...hope this helps <IMG SRC="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif"><P>------------------

dv8 is right, i use adobe illustrator. that is the fastest and easiest way. just build a path, and use the path text tool. the photoshop way is to time consuming.<P>------------------

The nicest solution is quark express imho for getting perfect text on a path, and works seamlessly with photoshop...that's what I use and it does that well (among other things) it's a tad bit pricey though, but a worthwhile investment ;-)<P>------------------
