You will need to use the css layout for;

.class {
 display: inline;
}

Check out this basic example.

I'm not sure how you're code looks, but you can use Padding-Top: 1px; or Margin-Top: 1px; I'm not sure what it is you're exactly doing, so you'll have to decide what suites it best.

Do you want your logo on the left side and navigation pane on right, both being vertically aligned? In that case try...

<header>
  <div id="logo">
  <!-- your code -->
  </div>
  <nav>
    <!-- your menu elements -->
  </nav>
</header>

and

#logo {
  float left;
}

nav {
  float: right;
  display: inline-block;
}

That is of course only ONE way to do it.
