How o Do This Text Effect In a Non-Painstaking Fashion

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone might be able to do something.

Please take a look at this image:

See the text CONLAW, PRPERTY, CONTRACTS, CRIMINAL LAW, EVIDENCE, TORTS ?

My client wants me to start with a version of this "logo" without that text, but have the text "enter from the right, then encircle at the middle"

Can any of you think of a way to do this without having to go through the painstaking process of taking each letter and rotating and all that mumbo jumbo? The only thing I can think of involves the use of a transparent .gif of each "text arch", going around the circle, with each letter masked until it is time to reveal it.

Am I making it too complicated?

Thanks, Mike

A simple solution: Adobe PhotoShop
Create warped text and set the style to arc

;)

Hi,
Thanks for replying. The thing is I know how to make the text like that in photoshop, but the pain-staking part would have been in Kool Moves, making it go from a simple line of text to actually traveling around that arc and finally resting in that arced position. However, I think I've figured out a way to do it using masks, so it's not nearly as pain-staking a process.
Thanks for your answer anyway,
Mike
