Move Logo Without Changing Design-CodePudding

I have a logo I created using a div and two letters which I want to move inside the coral colored div. However every time I change left/right properties or margin/padding I end up changing the letter placement in the design.

I tried playing around with the CSS using developer tools but I'm still having trouble.

Is there a better way I could use to move the logo itself and maybe make it a big smaller inside the coral div? This is what I'm trying to do screenshot. *note: screenshot is from Figma but I'm trying to code what it looks like

CodePudding user response：

Make the following changes to .logo-container {...}:

Inside .logo-container {...}, include position: relative (to make absolute postioning of .box with respect to it, work). Then remove the margin, left and right values.
- The margin property isn't necessary in .logo-container since it will cue its margins from the grid placement of its parent .logo.
- The left and right properties aren't needed as well for the same reason as above (and also since, setting position: relative produces defaults of top: 0 and left: 0); remember, you are trying to position the .box div which houses the letters, not .logo-container itself. You should rather position .box from its own rule set.

If you need padding around .logo-container set it within its parent: .logo

Here's what .logo-container rule should look like:

.logo-container {
    position: relative;
    width: 100px;
    height: 100px; 
}  

.box {
    // Position me (w/ margin, left and right) from here instead 
    // if you wish to. 
} 

.logo {
    ...
    // put padding around .logo-container here.
}

And Voilà! Problem fixed!

If you want the .parent div to take the full height of the viewport (i.e screen), you may set height: 100vh in its CSS rule:

.parent {
    ...
    height: 100vh;
 }

Alternatively (much better way):

 html,
 body {
     height: 100%;
 }

.parent {
     height: 100%;
 }

If you need to remove browser default box-sizing, margin and padding properties, then add this rule set at the top of your CSS file or section:

* {
    box-sizing: border-box;
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0;
}
