AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay heres the story. I've made a logo where it has a certain character and effect (warp Text in adobe 6.0) I used as a symbol for my company.

Now I flattened the image so the Symbol and Text is on one layer. Then I ACCIDENTLY saved it as the main .psd file where it had the individual text layers (this main .psd file would allow me to edit the color or size in the future If I ever wanted too).

But now I'm stuck with a .psd file w/only one layer and can't edit the text or symbol!!

I can always re-make a new file with the symbol and text but the thing is I DON"T REMEMBER how i made the symbol!!!

Can anyone give me any advice to how to figure out what symbol I used and what effect I used. Any tools too disect a psd file's layer? Basically the symbol was either a "C", "V", "G", or "I" with the Warm Text tool in Adobe 6.0. No matter how many combinates I re-try to make the symbol, I can't get it to work.

Any ideas? suggestions? Am I totally helpless in recreating the symbol?

Thanks,
Bobby

and I believe the rule is once flattened always flattened.
