Hi Meghana! The exercise wants the logo on it's own line so that the "auto" margins affect it.

display: inline-block;

doesn't quite accomplish that, because it's still inline with the elements above it. Block level elements are pushed to their own line, and margins affect them. So, can you think of the correct display property value to push the logo to its own line?
