I am trying to make a rectangle shape and then have the text SGS cut out in the middle of it. Is this possible?

Yes, you can do it easily in PI8. I did a tutorial on creating cutout text on a button here

You could use this technique to make cutout text on any shape object.

If you're using a previous version of PI, then this older tut of mine shows how to do it
