Having a bit of difficulty with a small part of my projects layout. On the codepen, there are two separate divs (.social and .logo) that are children of the parent div (logo-row).
The children have float: left applied. The problem is, the contents are not on the same line. The social Icons are a bit above the logo, and the hello box is on its own line entirely.
I created a mock up of what I am trying to achieve below:
Here is the codepen. http://codepen.io/bluehabit/pen/dPKaXw
Thanks in advance.

.logo,
.box {
float: left;
} to .logo {
float: left;
}
.social {
float: right;
}. Then you give your box float.box {float:right}. Your .social ul li need to have list-style: none;
display: inline-block;
margin-left: 9px;
float: right;
Then set your social a .social {
width: 50%;
} and your done - it should look something like that: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/EaRMjJ

3,970 PointsThat sort of works, the problem I found is when the .box and .social are set to float right the elements are out of order and I can't seem to figure out how to prevent that.
If you look at the concept in the original post the text box is to the right of the social icons. In your example, it is to the left.
