DIV element aligns itself below the rest of the div elements-CodePudding

I am trying to align an element inside of a div but the element doesn't horizontally align with the rest of the contents inside of the div.

Here's a picture describing my problem: here's the problem

As you can see the logo [M-WAY RECORDS] is not on the same row as the rest of the navbar buttons even though its in the same DIV. How do I horizontally align it with the rest of the content of the div. Keep in mind that I am a beginner coder so no need to be mean or such in comments. I'd like constructive critizism to evolve bu no need to hate on the code or me just because I made mistakes.

Anyways here's the html:

body {
    font-family: SF0001;
}
/*FONTS*/
@font-face {
    font-family: SF0001;
    src: url(font/SFProDisplay-Light.ttf);
  }
/*HEADER NAVBAR*/
ul {
    list-style-type: none;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    overflow: hidden;
    background-color: #fff;
  }
  
  li {
    float: left;
  }
  
  li a {
    display: block;
    float: left;
    color: black;
    text-align: center;
    padding: 5px 16px;
    text-decoration: none;
    border-radius: 5px;
  }

  li a:hover {
    background-color: rgb(241, 241, 241);
    transition: 0.3s;
  }

  li a:active {
    color:rgb(41, 41, 41);
  }

  li img {
    width: 7.5%;
    height: 7.5%;
  }

Instead of float i would just use display:flex; on li element and it's child

JSfiddle: enter link description here

Code example:

/*BODY*/

body {
  font-family: SF0001;
}


/*FONTS*/

@font-face {
  font-family: SF0001;
  src: url(font/SFProDisplay-Light.ttf);
}


/*HEADER NAVBAR*/

ul {
  list-style-type: none;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  overflow: hidden;
  background-color: #fff;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: row;
  width: 40%;
}

li a {
  display: flex;
  height: 4%;
  color: black;
  text-align: center;
  padding: 5px 16px;
  text-decoration: none;
  border-radius: 5px;
}

li a:hover {
  background-color: rgb(241, 241, 241);
  transition: 0.3s;
}

li a:active {
  color: rgb(41, 41, 41);
}

What if you'll try to use display: inline-block; for li element ?

li {
  float: left;
  display: inline-block;
}

So as i undustud u want to have navigation in left side, logo at midle, to do this float is not best solution, because u will have lot of limitation, u will have only two posibility to move left or right, and put on center only with margin. I use flex-box, and this code are very simplifi your job. U can use my example:

.container {
  display: flex;
}

.box {
  flex: 1;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: flex-start;
}

.box:first-child>span {
  margin-right: auto;
}

.box:last-child>span {
  margin-left: auto;
}

/* non-essential */
.box {
  align-items: center;
  height: 40px;
}

ul {
    list-style-type: none;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    overflow: hidden;
    background-color: #fff;
  }
  
  li {
    float: left;
  }
  
  li a {
    display: block;
    float: left;
    color: black;
    text-align: center;
    padding: 5px 16px;
    text-decoration: none;
    border-radius: 5px;
  }

  li a:hover {
    background-color: rgb(241, 241, 241);
    transition: 0.3s;
  }

  li a:active {
    color:rgb(41, 41, 41);
  }

.header-logo{
    height: 40px;
  }
