Read this article on vertical centering.

http://www.jakpsatweb.cz/css/css-vertical-center-solution.html

If you dont wanna support IE7 or lesser then you can use vertical-align : middle.

Otherwise:

Set display to table in .promo_tumbs col_12
Set vertical-align to middle & display to table-cell for .promo_tumb

and it should work.

Article is quite good. Thank you for the link, it is very informativ :) – Sasha Apr 23 '12 at 11:53
Does setting display to table suffer from the same drawbacks that comes with using actual tables? – David Hedlund Apr 23 '12 at 12:13
I'm not a big fan of this method myself (I have used it once for a quick hack). But yes, i believe so. – Ashwin Krishnamurthy Apr 23 '12 at 13:17

Will the heights (155px and 75px respectively) always be fixed? In that case it'd be as simple as changing the .promo_tumb margin:

margin: 40px 10px

This is still in the making, so at the moment heights are just for testing. – Sasha Apr 23 '12 at 11:44

Well the best approach to vertical centering depends very much on which variables are known. – David Hedlund Apr 23 '12 at 11:48
