Vertically aligning elements in parent div

I am having an issue with elements not vertically aligning in the middle of it's parent div.

CSS:

/* Main body structure */

body{
    font-size:0.5em;
}

.main-wrapper {
    width: 90%; 
    margin: auto; 
    background-color: #efefef;
}

* {
    box-sizing: border-box;
}


/* Main header/logo/navigation structure */

.main-header {
    padding: 20px; 
    background-color: #003;
    display:table;
    width: 100%;
    min-height: 150px;
}

.main-logo, 
.main-nav, 
.main-nav li {
    display: inline-block;
}

.main-logo, 
.main-nav, {
    display: table-cell;
    vertical-align: middle; 
}

.main-logo, 
.main-nav li { 
    padding: 10px 20px; 
    border-radiues: 5px;
    background-color:#3CC;
}

.main-nav li {
    margin-right: 10px;
    display:inline-block;
}

.main-logo {
    background-color:#3F6;
}

.main-nav {
    padding: 10px;
}

.main-logo a,
.main-nav a {
    color: #FFF;
    text-decoration:none;
    display:block;
    text-align:center;
    padding: 10px 20px;     
}


@media ( max-width: 768px) {
    .maing-logo,
    .main-nav,
    .main-nav li {
        display:block;
        width: initial;
        margin: initial;
    }
    .main-nav {
        padding-left: initial;
    }
    .main-nav li {
        margin-top: initial;
}

HTML:

<div class="main-wrapper">
    <header class="main-header">
        <h1 class="main-logo"><a href="#">logo</a></h1>
        <div class="main-nav">
        <ul class="main-nav">
            <li><a href="#">HOME</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">SEARCH</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">MESSAGES</a></li>
            <li><a href=logout.php>LOGOUT</a></li>
        </ul>
    </header>
</div>

So the issue being that if I alter the min-height of the main-header class the elements stay in the same place and do not automatically adjust but my code looks like it should be automatically middle aligning the elements?

if you use display:table; , you should use height and not min-height . Behavior of this display rule will do that the element will expand to fit its content anyway.

You have an extra , , that kills you rule .

correct is :

.main-header {
    padding: 20px; 
    background-color: #003;
    display:table;
    width: 100%;
    /*min-*/height: 150px;
}

.main-logo, 
.main-nav, 
.main-nav li {
    display: inline-block;
}

.main-logo, 
.main-nav/* , */ {
    display: table-cell;
    vertical-align: middle; 
}
