    Please advise me on the best way to distort/warp/envelope this text

      Hi all,

      Please can you advise me on the most suitable way to distort/warp/envelope this text. I need to make it fit exactly (heightwise) into the white area below. I thought this would be a very simple thing to do in Illy but I was mistaken! I have tried using the warp and mesh methods but am just not having much luck! I have even tried doing it manually, point by point (after expanding the appearance) but it just looks like a MESS:(

       

      As you can see, the white arc shape is not consistent in height/thickness as it tapers off towards the ends. It is thickest/tallest in the middle, so I need to get the letters to increase in height there to touch top and bottom of the white area, and then taper down in height.

       

      Please can you help me?

       

      Thank you kindly in advance,

       

      Christine
