Terminal in OSX Lion looks different after unknown command

I spent some time today installing Ruby, Rails and other web development stuff through homebrew and rvm. But somewhere i must have put the wrong command in the terminal since my terminal on OS X Lion (same with both standard terminal and iTerm2) now looks weird.

How do I get rid of that red tilde and black arrow and get it back how it looks as default?

terminal osx lion

As I am a beginner at terminal commands I would appreciate your help.

it seems like PS1 has been changed. what you can do now is to change it back, or simply delete it to return to default.

in terminal, do the following:

cd ~ 
grep "export PS1" .*

then you will see some outputs, it might be in .profile or .bashrc, (just ignore the history one) you can use whatever to open the file. or just open .filename in terminal, delete the line with export PS1, save, relogin. the problem shall be resolved.
