Locate the mask that you worked so hard to get perfect like the one shown here.

Change the fill to RGB 51 green. I know it looks black, but it is a very dark green.

I've changed the fill to light gray so you can see the text treatment.

I have used Adobe Poppl-Laudatio regular and bold. If you do not have this font, you can use something similar. (If you are willing to part with two dollars US, you could try a font called Penultimate at Xara's BuyFonts.com site).

Format the text as shown on the left. I also closed the line spacing by highlighting the text with the Text Tool, then clicking the down arrow on the Line Spacing text entry box on the Infobar.

Oh, and by the way, use the Text Tool to add the text as well.

I added a Gill Sans Ultra Bold X, 146 points in height and centered it over the circles.

As an alternate you might try Opine Heavy, also on Xara's BuyFonts.com.

Make a duplicate of the "The Xara Xone" text and set it to the side. We'll need it later.

Select the text, and the X, and set the fill to none and add a 1.5 point outline.

Convert both outlined text to shapes (Arrange > Convert Outline to Shapes).
