aligning curved text with in a circle, word on top curves down and word on bottom curves up

Asked by james

So I'm trying to create a logo, I understand to create a circle and make a path and how to get the text curved and inside the circle, but now the text is inside the circle and aligned at the bottom, now I want to put another text inside the circle at the top with the word being aligned from the top of the text curving downward. Idk how to do that, and I cant seem to find any videos. It will curve downward if the text is outside of the circle but if I were to put the 1st word outside of the circle just to get the downward cure, it wont be the same proportions as the 2nd word that is inside the circle at the bottom curving upward.

The line to align the text has to be the "baseline" of the text, so to achieve that you will have to create another "inside" circle (that you will make invisible at the end). Easiest way to achieve that is to duplicate the circle and resize it holding shift (keep center) and ctrl (keep proportion)

Can you help with this problem?
