Yes, sorry,
The circle logo is correct.
my bad for not explaining enough.
- The fitness4life arching text should say 'Streetline Defence', in a font style that fits the Fitness4life text.
- Estd.1994 directly below the fitness4life logo
Please

Hi Ged Traynor,
After watching all of the illustrator tutorials, my text 'type on path' tool text will just not follow the circle.
I made a circle via the Ellipse tool, but when I try to add text, It says
'You must click on a non-compound, non-masking path to create text along a path"
I also have the added problem where the 'fill' option wont work? Please advise

Do you have the Ellipse tool set to Path in the Options bar?
Then hover over the path with the Text tool selected, until you see this icon

You're in Photoshop not Illustrator.

You need to adjust your Type on a Path options, and move the two controls that indicate where the text starts and ends on the path.
In this example, the text is set centered. If these settings don't bring your text far enough from your ellipse, you may need to add a second shape just for the text, or use the offset path effect to move your path out a bit.

Hi, SJRiegel, where do I find these controls which indicate where the path starts and ends?
Is it this two square and line thing above?SJRiegel​

Yes, those are the ones. You can move them with the either one of the Select tools.

How to create type on a path in Illustrator
Be sure to use an option like Baseline Shift to make the text flow inside the ellipse.
You have to think a little outside the box when it comes to Illustrator. Every little element/idea should have its own layer (if you don't want to go crazy, that is) using the Layers panel (which is very different from Photoshop's) and make judicious use of copy and pasting in place when you want to use another path's shape but keep the path itself as it is. Really quick examples:
Note the Layers panel. I quickly copied the original ellipse, pasted it in place (Edit > Paste in Place on the menu bar), selected that copy in the Layers panel and then went to town with the Type on a Path tool.
You'll need to click the more options icon (the 3 horizontal dots) for the Character panel to reveal Baseline Shift:

Logos should be made in Illustrator, not Photoshop. You want a vector graphic that can be set to any size, from a business card to a billboard with no loss of quality.

Melissa is right, traditionally in our field people would do this in Illustrator. HOWEVER, if you only have access to Photoshop, here's a video tutorial showing you how to do it for yourself.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVfB5p2kRW4
