Ok. After I've downloaded a logo (Goodyear) and open it up in Inkscape I then want to add a curve. I select both the curve & the text (Goodyear) a then select put on path but nothing happens. But if type Goodyear out myself & do the same steps it will put the text on the curve. What am i not doing right to get that logo that I've downloaded on a curve?
Yes I did read what you posted. I'm just trying to tell you what is going on when I try to put a text logo on a curve. The logo Goodyear is what Im trying to put on a curve but when I go to put on path nothing happens. But if I type the Goodyear myself and do the same things it works. So why won't my downloaded logo work.
And I'm trying to tell you that warping the object without text properties won't work.
I've never used Inkscape before but I think what @TumeK5 is trying to tell you is that an image doesn't have the same properties as text and Inkscape can't bend the properties of an image. It's a limitation of the program.
You're not only close, but spot on.
I had a feeling there was a way to do this, but I didn't know for sure. (and had I known, I would've mentioned it from the beginning)

This is what Gary is looking for:
- Copy the logo (object, not an image. If the logo is an image, it has to be turned into vector path first (bitmap tracing) ).
- Select the drawing tool, and the set the shape of the path to be the copied object
- Draw the shape you want the logo to follow (in this case, an arc)
Ok, I think. I'm really trying to learn how to use Inkscape correctly & its going kinda slow. I'm really sorry if I post something that might not make any sence to you but I'm trying to learn how to do this stuff. Not to make any excuses but I have a learning disability along with being dyslexic and having ADHD. Anyway thanks for all of you help. So if I'm reading this wright what I need to do is after downloading a logo (Goodyear's Logo) that's not a SVG file, that I need to change the format. Or am I still way off. I've attached a copy of a file which kinda shows you what going on. I've bought a couple of Inkscape books to look at & help me learn how to use this software. Hopefully this will help. Just as long as I can ask question without pissing someone off.👍 We got there in the end is the main thing
Ahem.
I had a look at the file, and you've already turned the Goodyear logo into path. All you have to do now is to just simply draw the path that the logo would follow. And you must group everything in the logo together for it to work.
No worries, all good 👍. I'm fairly computer illiterate myself, being an old dude who didn't start off with a computer until I was already past my use by date (retired).
