I am trying to type multiple pieces of equally distanced text around a cirlular path. I know how to type on a path but what I want to know is; is there a way to type separate pieces of text around the same cirlce and make them equally distanced from each other? This is an example of a logo that does what I want to but with only one piece of text, as well as an attempt I made in photoshop but the text is not spread evenly around the circle how I would like it to be. (I have attempted it in Photoshop because I have more experience with it than I do Illustrator, but I understand that Illustrator is generally better logo design and text manipulation so I thought I'd ask here)
I typed the following line into a regular point type frame and set it to "Justify all lines" in the Paragraph palette:
ngised photography videography
Then I highlighted the first word and rotated it by 180 degrees in the Character palette. After that I copied the entire line, drew a circle, took the Type on a Path tool, clicked on the edge of the circle and pasted the clipboard. In the Character palette I modified the baseline shift for each word a bit.
Pretty cranky, isn't it?

Also, is it possible to/how do I flip the text at the bottom of the circle so that it is the right way up?

Caution, this method is a bit whimsical.
