Curved Text Assistance

How do I recreate the curved text and outline banner below (Dre Day)? I like the overall layout and outline, but am unsure how to create it myself.

Does anyone know how I can recreate the "Dre Day" text below to make it say "Andre Day" instead? Thanks!

[Leslie Moak Murray]

Do you have the layered psd file? If so, Just place the cursor in front of the "Dre" and add "AN."

Thanks, I, unfortunately, do not. I can make the text have a basic curve, but cannot get it to have the letters as wide/thick and make the white and blue thin outline.

Okay so you have this font?

[Jason27967406rnkf]

Yes, I do.

@Jason27967406rnkf This is the second such post youve made about recreating this specific text on a path - did you not get resolutions on the previous post you should be replying there and not creating a new post each time for the same question.

Sorry, new to posting here. No, I did not get a solution that worked for my project.

To create the text effect with the outlines you need to make additional appearances such as adding multiple instances of strokes to create the outline. 

This will add additional strokes and fills above your text that you can rearrange (fill on top) to create as many varying stroke widths behind it.

I agree with Kevin. Using strokes and then add arch to lettering to give you the curve.

Thank you all!

If you still have questions on the general technique, you may want to check on YouTube were there are numerous tutorials, those can be very helpful to see what tools are available. Also, if you have access to Adobe Illustrator, it has a lot more functionality in terms of specialty text and creating custom shapes etc.
