Steve...Use the trim tool. First of all duplicate each element of the logo and align each pair directly on top of each other. Draw a straight horizontal line at the 14" point on top of each set of elements. Use the horizontal line to "trim" the top copy. Delete the lower half of the trimmed element. Move the top half to one side. Now you will have the second copy and the horizontal line remaining. Move the horizontal line up by 1/4" and use it to trim the remaining logo element. Delete the top half of the element and move the lower half over to where the other top half is. You will see that you now have two halves that overlap each other by 1/8". Repeat for all other colours or elements.
Note....15" vinyl can't be cut right to the edges so you might have to do 2 tiles.
Also note that you won't want the overlap at the same location on all of the colours.
Hope this helps!
