I second this. I also love EVERYTHING about the current Seahawks identity--the colors, the logo, the jerseys, etc.

1) Assuming that the lines of each symmetrical side are indeed as vertical as possible, you can turn on "smart guides" and they should just sort of snap to each other (it's what I do at least, there are probably much better ways of approaching that). 2) I would refer you to this tutorial--it goes into much detail about the inner-workings of the various "spacing" tools. There can be many different approaches to evenly spacing objects (such as spacing between two objects, or spacing throughout the entire artboard, etc.). It's all very simple, mind you, but there are many variables to how to approach it.

As much as I'd love to see Grand Rapids host an NHL team (being from there and all), the Griffins fans here should not represent in any way the potential for a big market team. This is a Red Wings city and I can't imagine anyone would warm up to a second Michigan team at all.
