PSA: How a crooked sign at a car wash fixed my logo alignment forever

I was at a coin op car wash on Route 9 last month and the vacuum sign was tilted like 15 degrees to the left. It bugged me so much I couldn't focus. Then I realized my own logo had the same issue on a clients social media banner. I drew a straight line down the middle of my canvas and snapped everything to it now it looks clean. Has anyone else had a crooked element ruin an otherwise solid design?

Grid overlays save my butt on every project now.

Whoa wait, a tilted vacuum sign at a car wash? That's wild that something so random made you fix your logo. I can't believe nobody else has jumped on this yet. Honestly, I've scrapped whole layouts over a stray pixel that was off by like one degree, but I never thought to just draw a straight line down the middle and snap everything to it. That's a solid trick.
