I am designing a business card with one logo and several typical lines of text. All items are one line and will be vertically centered.  I wanted to align all to the center and selected all of them and selected alignment / center. The alignment did not look right. but it did complete the command. I had the grid on for visualization.

I thought I would try and center each separately. I selected just the logo and did the same command and it repositioned the logo and it now looks correct. Then I selected all the remaining text lines and did the align command and they lined up in line vertically with the logo. 

Question is why did this happen.

When you selected all and centre-aligned, you aligned the objects to each other. When you selected just the logo, you centre-aligned it with respect to the card, and then selecting everything else and aligning it made it line up with the already centre-aligned logo.
