Would i be able to keep a transparent background since this requires rasterize? Yes. Rasterizing a text layer essentially changes it to a transparent image layer.

Is resizing after rasterizing possible? Yes, but I'd recommend being sure the text is the size you want before rasterizing. I say that because if you make the rasterized image larger, it will become blurry the larger you make it. It's a good idea to duplicate the text layer, then rasterize the copied layer so that you always have the original text layer in case you mess up the rasterized layer. To do that, right-click the text layer and select "Duplicate layer".

Do you have a recommendation for creating the "O" involving the arrow like thing? I'd say you have two options.

1. Simply select the brush tool and set it to the correct diameter (thickness) and carefully trace the O on a separate, transparent layer.

2. Use the magic wand tool to select the white/gray area that is the O, copy-paste it to a new layer, fill it with the color you want, and smooth any rough edges with the brush tool and/or eraser tool.
