Moderncv \cventry Vertical and Horizontal Alignments

Question

I am trying to insert an image below the year in the first argument of the \cventry macro and automatically align that image both vertically and horizontally according to the space taken by the remainder of the entry. I managed to get it horizontally aligned, but not vertically, as shown below. I have tried several options with \vspace*{\fill} and other boxes, but none seem to work.

Any clues on how to achieve both vertical and horizontal alignments?

\documentclass{moderncv}

\begin{document}

\cventry{1970\\
\makebox[\hintscolumnwidth]{%
\includegraphics[height=35pt]{misc/stackexchange-black}%
}%
}
{Title}{subtitle}{}{}{text\\text\\more text\\text\\text.}{}

\end{document}

Answer 1

EDITED to auto-center vertically the image, using \Xcventry with an extra argument in which the underset material is provided as argument #1. I use the \stackunder macro to achieve it. It also can take an optional argument which will denote the gap between year and image.

In the MWE below, for the 1st entry, I use \cventry and manually center using the optional argument of \stackunder. For the 2nd-4th cases, I auto-center using \Xcventry. The last case is a vanilla \cventry with no underset.

EDITED to work with smaller images and multi-line titles and subtitles.
