Creating a Globe with text running around the outside

[musicmanrobert]

Can anyone tell me how to create a world image or globe with the name of our business moving around it please? Thank you so much all.

Send a PM to Ron Duke. I think he did something like this.

I could imagine all sorts of things.
So, do you have an example of what you're looking to do?

[musicmanrobert]

Good Sunday Morning Rik and thank you for responding. No sir, I don't have an example I can send. However, I thought describing a Globe standing still with our logo letters going round it would be OK as a discription. Sorry I can't do better. I will look around the web to see if I can find something similar to what I am asking for. Thank you so much.

The opposite of what you are after.

P.S. It pans with click drag and zooms with a wheelie mouse button.

Hello and good Sunday Evening Acorn, Sure do thank you for responding. Here is the error message I get when I try to open the file: The application has failed to start because it's side by side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line-sxstrace.exe tool for more detail. Not being so computerate literate I have no idea what this message mean. Perhaps you can help me here sir. Thanks so much.

Here's a quick (took about two hours) sample of what could be done with Xara.
The motion is quite fast as I wanted to post it as soon as I could to show you what can be done. This animated gif is just 28 frames. To get a slower rotation of the text would take about twice as many frames.

Ron duke,
This is exactly what I was looking for. This is exactly the graphic I would love to know how to construct. Again, I am using Xara WD 365 Premium and I'm sure I should be able to construct such a graphic as you have here if properly guided. And, since I would want folk to read the text twice or 2.5 times as many frames may work just fine. Can you please advise me on how to get this graphic done (a working model)? Thank you for sharing this with me sir.

I'm busy with out-of-towners right now, but I will see what I can come up with ASAP.
How many letters/words in the company name? It makes a difference on how to approach it.

musicmanrobert,

Let me know when you're willing to start. Send me a PM.

I need to know what font you'll be using for the company name and what the company is. Does the globe have to be certain color or colors? What color do you want the background to be?
