HTML/CSS - Problem with aligning elements in navbar-CodePudding

I'm trying to make this simple website and right now I'm working on the navbar. In the navbar I also have this logo that I created with font awesome and text, it also has a bigger font size than the other elements in the navbar. My problem is that the logo text isn't aligning with all the other text in the navbar.

* {
  font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif;
  font-size: 16px
}

body {
  background-color: RGB(40, 43, 48);
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

nav {
  background-color: RGB(30, 33, 36);
  text-align: center;
  justify-content: center;
  justify-items: center;
}

.main-nav {
  display: flex;
  list-style: none;
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
}

.main-nav li {
  padding: 10px;
}

.main-nav li a {
  color: white;
  text-decoration: none;
  font-weight: bold;
}

.push {
  margin-left: auto;
}

.nav-logo {
  font-size: 20px;
  display: inline-block;
  position: relative;
  color: white;
}

.nav-logo:after {
  content: '';
  position: absolute;
  width: 100%;
  transform: scaleX(0);
  height: 2px;
  top: 24px;
  bottom: 0;
  left: 0;
  background-color: white;
  transform-origin: center;
  transition: transform 0.25s ease-out;
}

.nav-logo:hover:after {
  transform: scaleX(1);
  transform-origin: center;
}

nav-content {}

What my navbar looks like

CodePudding user response：

you just had to set align-items: center on your main-nav class, as shown below:

* {
  font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif;
  font-size: 16px
}

body {
  background-color: RGB(40, 43, 48);
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

nav {
  background-color: RGB(30, 33, 36);
  text-align: center;
  justify-content: center;
  justify-items: center;
}

.main-nav {
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  list-style: none;
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
}

.main-nav li {
  padding: 10px;
}

.main-nav li a {
  color: white;
  text-decoration: none;
  font-weight: bold;
}

.push {
  margin-left: auto;
}

.nav-logo {
  font-size: 20px;
  display: inline-block;
  position: relative;
  color: white;
}

.nav-logo:after {
  content: '';
  position: absolute;
  width: 100%;
  transform: scaleX(0);
  height: 2px;
  top: 24px;
  bottom: 0;
  left: 0;
  background-color: white;
  transform-origin: center;
  transition: transform 0.25s ease-out;
}

.nav-logo:hover:after {
  transform: scaleX(1);
  transform-origin: center;
}

nav-content {}
