Text alignment? Circle-text?

Hi there!

I am modeling the symbol of the "Departure of Precrime" from Minority Report.
Therefor I need to know, how I can model a text aound a circle. The Letters "Departure of Precrime - Destrict of Columbia" have to follow the red arrow in the picture below.

Please help me!

Thanx,

Markuz

ahhh... I think I've got it: I simply have to create every letter one by one and rotate them around the center of my symbol about 2 Degrees or something like this....

Hey, Markuz...

That's the only way I can think of... you could try to use deformers, perhaps, such as the bend deformer, but I don't think it would bend it in a complete circle and not warp the text some. The only other thing I can think of, is to perhaps create the text, make it all one object, attach it to a motion path, make it flow path object and see if it looks right...

Yeah, thanks for the tipp. I also though about an animation path, but I wasn't able to manage it with the text. But I think it looks right now with my method...
You can see the final result in the "Finished Work" Section...
And please tell me if you know the original fontuser added image

Best Regards

Markuz
