Aligning vertically elements in a horizontal ul

Hey guys,

I'm trying to create a horizontal navbar but I'm struggling to align everything vertically. After I inserted the little key icon I could never align the texts again properly. What I'm doing wrong?

Here's my code: https://codepen.io/catyard/pen/WMVGMY

Thank you

Try setting "vertical-align" of "::before" pseudo-element to "top" instead of "bottom".

Hey Steven! Thank you!

Words are now aligned but I still can't align all elements to the center of the red bar :(

Try adding " line-height: 1.5em;" to the ".prebar ul li" rule.

It worked! Thank you Steven!

I don't fully understand why, but I'll try to figure it out.

Text within a given line-height is vertically centered, and one of the elements had expanded the height of the list, but the other items were still top-aligned with a normal height.
