Object to path, without distortion

[dean chapman]

I have a logo that i’m trying to have arch on a half circle path.
The logo consists of a single line of simple text, with the exception that one of the letters is a unique shape.

My question is: how can i have my logo follow a path without distorting?
I try using envelope distort, and have tried making my logo a brush……but i don’t want the logo to distort at all, just follow a path. I’m guessing that i have to treat each of the letters/shapes as it’s own path and then manipulating from there? i dunno…..Does anybody know the best solution for this particular problem?

Thanks

dean

I’m getting crazy with your question >.< maybe you have to “Create Outlines” the text so that you can manipulate it better?
