That looks like a radial blur: Filter > Blur > Radial Blur (choose “Zoom” as the method.)
For the static, think about whether you want there to be white static on the negative space, or just black static on the letters.
I’d go for just static on the letters, in which case I’d use a layer mask on the text layer. You can use noise to generate noise on the layer, and adjust the contrast up and down to get the effect you want. -
If you have lots of discrete layers (like layout objects) and you want to be able to rearrange them without referring to the layers panel.

You should experiment with layer styles like bevel and emboss! First you’ll need to delete the black or white (or matte it out with a layer mask) so that the layer style can work on the shape of the logo.
-
You can set the layer quality to “draft,” and it will render blocky. (Make sure when you render the whole comp that you set the quality to either “draft” or “current” (current will keep the by-layer settings.))
You can also experiment with the “mosaic” and “sharpen” filters.

A few more ideas: I always try the healing brush first, I think it would work great. Another useful thing is using the brush tool in “hue” or “color” mode, to paint the color from one side of the seam onto the pixels on the other side–something like that would work great on the forehead seam where the textures are the same but the color is different.

Here’s a thread I was in on this topic:

If you use the blur tools while in Quick Mask, your selection will be feathered, but it’s a destructive process.

I think you mean Layer Comps.
You can also do this with layer groups. Or even Snapshots in History!But I think you mean Layer Comps.

If you use the liquify filter instead, you can save your mesh.
Or, here’s a workaround if you want to use Warp:
Convert your layer to a smart object before you warp it. When you want to use the same mesh on another thing, duplicate the warped smart object, and go to Layer>Smart Object>Replace Contents to swap the other thing in (you’ll need to save the thing on its own file first.)
I just tried it and it worked fine.
