Alert is telling me that the font size is incorrect for the #logo. Please help

I believe my code is correct here, But the alert keeps telling me to make sure the font size is correct on the #logo.

style.css
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

@media (min-width: 421px){
  header {
  background-color: #294969;
  color: ghostwhite; 
}

  @media (min-width: 769px){
    #logo {
      font-size: 1.4rem;
  }

      <h1>The verdict is in. CSS Layout is great!</h1>
      <p>I’ve been working with CSS for a while now, and I have to say, it’s pretty awesome. I love being able to separate content from presentation, and to keep all my styles in an external stylesheet.</p>
      <p>I’ve had a pretty good grasp on the basics for a while now, but I needed to learn more about how to control layout with my CSS. Understanding CSS layout meant first exploring the parts of the CSS box model.</p>

      <h2>The CSS Box Model</h2>
      <p>There are lots of great resources online to help you learn the CSS Box Model. I like the CSS Tricks article <a href="https://css-tricks.com/the-css-box-model/" target="_blank">The CSS Box Model</a> by Chris Coyier. To quote the author:</p>
      <blockquote>At the risk of over-repeating myself: <strong>every element in web design is a rectangular box.</strong></blockquote>
      <p>That’s right! Every HTML element is considered by the browser to be a rectangular box.</p>
      <p>The CSS Box Model consists of four properties: content, padding, border, and margin. I've included a graphic from Coyier’s article to illustrate this principle.</p>
      <p class="clear">It’s pretty easy to understand the Content portion of the box model. The content is whatever your HTML consists of. It could be a paragraph full of text, or a bulleted list, or an image.</p>
      <p>Beginning developers may have some trouble keeping the other parts of the box model straight, so let’s examine them one by one.</p>

I'm not sure you can set a font-size property on a <div>. But I might be wrong. Perhaps try wrapping the text between a <p> tag and then add the id on that <p> tag. Or target it with "#logo p" in css instead. If that's not it or you can't change the markup, then maybe the problem is in the media query?

In your css file, you have two more { than }. Have you tried adding closing brackets at the end of your @media sections?

where specifically would these go?

@media (min-width: 769px) {
    #logo {
        font-size: 1.4rem;
    }
}

Notice the outer braces and inner braces. If you open something, you have to close it :)
