Among ImageMagick's font effects, there is only the arrangement of text along an arc or a ring; there is no arrangement of text along a curve.
The wave effect is not a font effect, but a pixel distortion effect (that is, the pixels just shift). So exactly what you have shown in the first picture cannot be done directly with one effect.
Using wave you can get a similar effect, only the letters will not be perpendicular to the envelope (as in the first picture), but remain vertical, you just need to choose a smaller wavelength value. www.imagemagick.org/Usage/warping/#wave
