Trying to vertically align a logo and headers' tabs in the same row can be quite challenging, especially when the logo is taller than the tabs. I've attempted different methods, including using padding to manually adjust the alignment, but it's not giving me the desired result. The issue arises because both the logo and tabs are contained within the same ul tag, making it difficult to apply separate padding for each element.
If I separate the logo and tabs into different tags, they no longer appear in the same row, disrupting the layout. As a result, either the logo is aligned to the center while the tabs aren't, or vice versa due to fixed padding. I've also explored options on this website to automatically align them with the div, but it seems to cause further complications.
Here is a sample image of the logo:

And here is a screenshot of what the header currently looks like:

For those interested, you can view the code for my header (simplified) here:
<style>
/*ADD YOUR STYLES HERE*/
</style>
<div class="wrap" id="header">
<ul class="columns" id="nav">
<li><a href="#"><img id="icon" src="https://i.sstatic.net/7JLVA.png"></a></li>
<li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#">About</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Art</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Shop</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Tutorials</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Literature</a></li>
<li>
<form method="post" action="#" id="searchform">
<img id="search-icon" src="https://images.vexels.com/media/users/3/132068/isolated/preview/f9bb81e576c1a361c61a8c08945b2c48-search-icon-by-vexels.png">
<input class="search-input" type="text" name="search-input" placeholder="Search..." />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Go" id="search-btn" />
</form>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
The white space surrounding the entire image appears strange due to the red background, highlighting the misalignment that persists. Any suggestions or feedback on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated!
