Set the image float:left; and the text display:inline-block; and the .logoArea text-align:center;.

Answer 2

There are few ways to solve this. Here is one with minimal changes to your existing styling.
.logoArea img {
float: left;
}
Usually it requires additional changes in the code for actual centering in the parent window, but it seems to go well with the other styles you already have.
EDIT
Looking again at the result, I'm having second thoughts. My solution is good only for non-dynamic elements (elements that won't change dynamically but remain the same). Since it appears to be a header and therefore a relatively static element, my solution may still be valid, only with adding a required amount of padding-top to the center div. I don't know how much because in your example you used a very large font-size and I have no idea of the size of the image.

Answer 3

You can use CSS vertical-align:middle if the element is td (not div) or try this trick: http://zerosixthree.se/vertical-align-anything-with-just-3-lines-of-css/

Answer 4

Try using:
<div class="logoArea" style="display:table-cell; vertical-align:middle">
<img src="images/oifcoman-logo.jpg"/>
<div class="titleClass">Call Center Dashboard</div>
</div>

Answer 5

Try this:
HTML:
<div class="logoArea">
<img src="http://i.stack.imgur.com/O3d6S.jpg?s=128&g=1"/>
<div class="titleClass">Call Center Dashboard</div>
<div style='clear:both;'></div> </div>
CSS:
.logoArea {
background-color: #f5f5f5;
border: 1px solid #e3e3e3;
border-radius: 4px;
}
.logoArea img {display:block;width:100px;height:100px;float:left;}
.logoArea .titleClass {float:left;}
JavaScript (must include jQuery first)
$(document).ready(function(){
var h=$('.logoArea').height();var ch=$('.logoArea .titleClass').height();
var pTop=((h-ch)/2)+'px';
$('.logoArea .titleClass').css('paddingTop',pTop);
});
