Frustrating syntax error in my Html code

Hello fellow developers. I am on the video entitled center the wrapper. I made some change which I was never able to correct. Here is the code.
From the about button in the navigation bar line all the way down to the </html> closing tag it is highlighted red telling me i have an error.
I tried everything i can think of and can not figure where the error is. Somebody please help and tell me where i went wrong.

You missed the closing quotation mark after "logo" on line 11.
