Ramp texture on text does not line up correctly?

[launchKeyframe]

Hey all, a few weeks ago I've been trying to make a logo and wanted to gradient some text, I've tried ramp texture, and I believe shader aswell, but neither work the way I want to.

I want it to be a linear gradient, but instead it comes out in different points

I assume it is wrapping around each face and not the whole side of the text in general, is there any way I can fix this?

You need to do your UVs or use a projection

Ah, I forgot about uv wrapping, thanks, that should work.

Well I can't really seem to find the UV Editor for the texture specifically as the text I am actually using has other materials with it.

I'm not sure if I'm just not looking at the right place or if the texture is just not showing in the editor but I managed to get it to work regardless.
