Why is the li moving below the image after i set it to inline-block?

I am trying to create a nav bar and i don't know why i am facing this problem : Trying to set the li within the ul as inline-block works, but it is moving the whole list below the image i am using as a logo. Can someone explain why is this happening and how to fix it? https://codepen.io/rou-teodor/pen/QWNrVNZ

* {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

body {
  background-color: black;
}

img {
  display: inline-block;
  width: 100%;
  height: auto;
  background-position: center;
  background-size: cover;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

.logo {
  width: 150px;
  position: center;
  display: inline-block;
}

#nav-bar {
  background-color: yellow;
}

ul {
  list-style-type: none;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  display: inline-block;
}

#nav-bar li {
  display: inline-block;
}

      <div class="product1"></div>
      <div class="product2"></div>
      <div class="product3"></div>
    </section>

    <div class="form">
      <!-- Formular cumparare -->
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

Solution

Add display: flex;align-items: center; to align vertically center the navbar :)

#nav-bar {
    background-color: yellow;
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
}
