Hi All -

I've been inactive on this list for quite some time due to a forced change
in my job roles which all but removed me from building websites.  So, I'm
rather rusty on some of this stuff and never really got up to speed on
responsive/mobile first techniques.  Now, however, I've been tasked with
moving some logos from the footer of a site up to the header area.  The
site is a bootstrap-based template site, customized in look by me.  But now
we're talking about changing functionality and structure a bit, and that's
where the ol' skills are falling short.

The site, CSS and screenshots are here:

http://route66festivalsgf.com/issues/smallPhone.png
http://route66festivalsgf.com/issues/tabletLargePhone.png
http://route66festivalsgf.com/issues/largeTablet.png


I've kinda got a so-so start and have a few screenshots to show the site at
various widths.

The "tablet" and "smallPhone" screenshots are acceptable, though I would
tweak the logo placement just a bit on the smallPhone one.  My dream layout
for the phone would be

But the main issues right now are two:

1)  the sponsor logos being completely out of place in the  "largeTablet"
view. I can't seem to isolate what is making the logos be BOTH offset and
on two rows.  Why aren't the logo images staying to the left, thus making
room for all four?  It's like something is pushing the first of the two
images to the right, forcing the second one down.  Despite using browser
inspection tools and such I can't seem to see what is the cause of this.

2) dual rows and extra room in the "tabletLargePhone" view.  For this size
viewport I would really rather the logos all stay on one row and simply
scale down a bit.

I'm sure I'm probably approaching all of this wrong.  :-)  I had thought of
using each logo image as a separate item, using display:inline-block to
allow them to flow into place automatically.  But that's not going too well
either.  For some reason, in the wider viewports after the main navigation
becomes the 3-line icon, the logos won't stay on one line.  At least one of
them wants to drop down and form another row.

Any insight as to approach or specifics would be greatly appreciated.
