So, what I want to do is to center the nav element in a way where the Instagram logo is the nav is orgin point, which will make the nav element shifted to the left abit making the Instagram logo appear in he center and the other elements is relative to it.

nav {
  background-color: rgba(165, 42, 42, 0.521);
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
}

a {
  background-color: rgba(238, 223, 20, 0.596);
  margin: 10px;
}

CodePudding user response：

I would use grid for this:

nav {
  background-color: rgb(165 42 42 / 0.521);
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr min-content 2fr;
  /*
  I want four columns, with the third taking up the minimum space needed to fit its content.
  The remaining space is divided into 4 portions.
  Have two columns on the left taking up one portion each
  Have one column on the right taking up two portions
  */
}

a {
  display: grid;
  place-content: center;
  margin: 10px;
  background-color: rgb(238 223 20 / 0.596);
}
