Typography Wallpaper:(Difficulty Rating=2)
Step 1:

Import all your desired vectors separately into a Photoshop canvas. In this case i divided My vectors into 3 separate smart objects and dragged them into the Photoshop canvas.

Step 2:

Hide all vectors and create a new text box. In this case I typed "Creative Volition Inc.". Keep your font in full caps and Continue to copy/paste your text across the text box.

I have a easier method of doing this but it is not nearly as flexible, very well done.
