    three shapes, drawn however you like. the ends of the curves have vertical handles for a smooth-appearing transition between foreground and background:

    the middle shape in front of the rear two:

    a gradient using a colour and a lighter shade. the front shape has a few stops, lighter approximately where it curves towards us and darker as it curves away. the back shapes only use two stops.:

    that sort of thing?

    Another option - start with the text in a bar, with your grandest in place. Use Envelope Distort with Warp to create the wave, and then add the back ribbon sections afterwards.
