Isn't the "English" language funny. Tesla and I both took David's question and interpreted the deisred motion in totally different ways. Tesla is, of course, right, if you want to orbit the text around an object in the same x/y plane. I took the reference to old film company intros to mean a z plane orbit around an object. No doubt you could fake it by using a very eliptical path and slide along with scale, and two versions - on in front and one behind but it would be difficult to get them to match up.
If it is the orbital thing that David needs, then Boris Graffiti or RED will do it very simply (in fact htere's a tutorial for it on the Borisfx.com website in Tim's corner/tutorials).
