take what's under your text and double that layer. sandwhich the text between those two layers like so:
copy
text
orig

group the copy with the text, then run a spherize on the copy...I think...

Merge your background and text, make a circular selection, and then sphererize. Didn't Phong do a tutorial on this?

It's not really all that tuff. Make the Z and the swirly background...wow, this is going to be really ugly. Anyway, select the outline of the Z (control-click on the Z layer), then go to the background layer. With the Z's outline still selected, run the pinch filter several times. Deselect and you're done.
