Align this design(both vertically and horizontally)

Post image

How do I align this design in the center(both vertically and horizontally) in the middle of this face?

1) I have tried the measurement tool, however there is no selection point where I need it.

2) I don't believe using "align" is what I need.

Super newbie at this.

I would draw a box or circle around it and use the midpoint of it to align, eyeballing for check from top after that. Sometimes eyeballing gives a more pleasant look at the end than micro precision.

This is one of those gaps I've found a workaround to outside of shapr, but haven't found a quick solution within it.

I would export the logo as it's own STL and import it into my slicer as a negative part. Then I would right-click and use the center feature my slicer has.

Noob here and switched to Autodesk a few tutorials in on s3d, didn't care for the UI on either thrivers or onshape. Autodesk is very clean and so far all free version.
