    It looks centered. but I think the square being the way it is makes your mind think it's not.
    the BSP I think should be a little thicker since it'll not show up as nice when printed smaller like on business cards.

    I think the reason it feels off center is because the letters in the square feel too slanted... maybe if you tried straighting them?

    Hi There, hope all is fine with you.

    Your red box is a letter off center Move the red box over to the next "T" don't center the box in the "T"--more toward the viewers left., Play with that just a bit and you should get it look more centered.

    Now the bottom line is off center as well...the line-photography-line needs to be moved to viewers right about half of a letter. The beginning line on the viewers lefts should start in the middle of the letter "A" so moving this whole bottom lines and text about a 1/2 of letter should do it.

    That should center this for you..

    A super easy way to make sure you are centered is count your letters, to center your object or text below text count the letters before the object/text and after, this will show you real quick if it is centered. This works great when you have an object throwing the eye as you tilted red square does.

    Hope this helps

    I made the adjustments, this is a jpg file. I did it in illustrator if you want different file format.

    If you look at the red box you can see how much I moved it compared to the original also the bottom text is now centered along with the line at each end.

    Putting this side by side you can see the overall adjustments, not very much at all, it was off just enough to throw the eye a bit.

    hope this helps

    Thumbs up

    Hi,
    I would agree with Coy about to make the letters a bit thicker but plus I don't get easily the "S" of the logo, to me it looks a more "d", I would definitely not make the line creating the S so that interlaced with itself...just because it confuse me,
    hope it will be helpful
