I think This will help you much better way: This is little different from arc. but more powerful if you get it done right: this is how to use envelope distort within Adobe Illustrator to create extremely simple yet powerful effects on type! The end results only create a few seconds to create, and allow you to change and edit your type even after you've applied the effect. See this: ** link [this video] ** I hope this will surely help.
