You'll see if you work with it for a while, that getting a precise match of all the spacing and layout is difficult if not impossible. However, all that aside, this may not be the best way to go for this task, depending on where you're going to use the logo and how close you need to get to the "official" graphic. If you already have the fontwork button (tilted "A") in Draw, just skip steps 1 & 2, and press the fontwork button instead of step 6. If you want to change it's settings, though, you have to have the fontwork dialog. You can copy/paste that object into Draw. The rectangle should still be selected.ħ) On the fontwork dialog window, click on the "upper semicircle" arc shape at the top left. If that isn't working, press F2 to get into text mode)ĥ) Press Escape to end. Any size will do make sure you use the "simple" rectangle tool, near the left end of the Drawing toolbar.Ĥ) Type in your text (just type-if the rectangle is selected, the text will be added to it.

The fontwork feature is meant for making fancy artistic/poster-style text. The "fontwork" thing is yet another different feature, and, yes, the terminology is confusing. The curved text may be made from a curve object, but it can also be made from other graphics objects. The tutorial post describes how to make curved text. The help file topic "curves drawing" only tells how to create and edit a curve object it has no bearing on creating curved text. creating curved text, or "text on a curve". If I understand what you've said, you seem to be conflating two different operations: creating a curve (a graphic object), vs. This situation is why we support people through the forum, where you can just ask directly about what you need to do. The OOo User Guides are better, but even those are not really task-oriented. The online help is not a great place to start: it's more of a reference than a "how-to".
