Hi,
TikZ does the job in XeLaTeX (should also work in plain XeTeX, but
that's your domain)
\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont[Ligatures=TeX]{Linux Biolinum O}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{decorations.text}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw[very thin](xyz polar cs: angle=0,x radius=5, y radius=2) arc
(0:360:5 and 2);
\draw[very thick](xyz polar cs: angle=60,x radius=5, y radius=2) arc
(60:120:5 and 2);
\draw[very thick](xyz polar cs: angle=240,x radius=5, y radius=2) arc
(240:300:5 and 2);
\draw[decorate, decoration={text along path,
text={www.thai-an.co.uk}}](xyz polar cs: angle=120,x radius=5, y
radius=2) arc (120:60:5 and 2);
\draw[decorate, decoration={text along path, text={Authentic Oriental
Cuisine}}](xyz polar cs: angle=240,x radius=5, y radius=2) arc
(240:300:5 and 2);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
Documentation for TikZ says, that each character is put into a separate
hbox to achieve the effect. (For whatever worth that information is to you.)
ciao

My sincere thanks to Mojca to her suggestion for implementing
drop shadows in XeTeX, which I am investigating further as
I write. Now I have a second problem for the same task.
Whilst signs 1 & 2 are linear, sign 3 requires text to be
typeset on a path (in practice, on two ellipses : see attachment [1]),
and once again I would be most grateful for any suggestions
as to how this can be accomplished using XeTeX.

--------
Note that the upper and lower text are set on two different
"concentric" (?conelliptic?) ellipses, such that the x-height
of the lower text abuts the same ellipse as the baseline of the
upper text.
