Recreating logo lettering

[Astroida]

Haven't posted in a while. Im looking for a way to recreate lettering in the logo of late night show with David Letterman. Any help is appreciated. image is in attachment. I have problems with leaving top part of letters in a same height, while bending bottom part.

You would get a much better result if you tried to draw your own. Have a play with the pen tool, it's really not that scary.

This is kind of hard to do in Photoshop. Illustrator would be a better choice for this effect.

Here, I just created the text, duplicated, and rastorized type and layer style. Then I used guidelines and the morph feature in Free Transform to make the curvature.



Not perfect but close.

Create your text, turn it to Smart Object and apply warp transform with Arc Lower Preset.
Later you can switch to Custom warp mode and tweak it manually.

Thanks SCTRWD, I had tried this without the smart object and it did not work well. Using the smart object, it worked much better.

You can always scale your text verticaly

Astroida....
If you decide to do this in Illustrator, use the Text Warp options after creating your text with outline .....
