How to center \includegraphics with text?

Question

So I have the following document and it renders a graphic and text like so:

But I want to achieve this instead:

How do I center the text to the middle of the graphic?

I searched through \includegraphics options but couldn't find anything that seemed relevant.

\documentclass[letterpaper,11pt]{article}

\usepackage{latexsym}
\usepackage[empty]{fullpage}

\usepackage[usenames,dvipsnames]{color}
\usepackage{verbatim}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\graphicspath{{./images/}}

\setlist{leftmargin=2.5mm}

\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhf{}
\fancyfoot{}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}

\usepackage[margin=0.1in]{geometry}

\raggedbottom
\raggedright
\setlength{\tabcolsep}{0in}

\newcommand{\resumeItem}[2]{
  \item\small{
    \textbf{#1}{: #2 \vspace{-2pt}}
  }
}

\newcommand{\resumeSubheadingSecond}[6]{
  \vspace{-1pt}\item
    \begin{tabular*}{0.97\textwidth}[t]{l@{\extracolsep{\fill}}r}
      \textbf{#1} & #2 \\
      \textit{\small#3} & \textit{\small #4} \\
      \textit{\small#5} & \textit{\small #6} \\
    \end{tabular*}\vspace{-5pt}
}

\newcommand{\resumeSubItem}[2]{\resumeItem{#1}{#2}\vspace{-4pt}}

\renewcommand{\labelitemii}{$\circ$}

\newcommand{\resumeSubHeadingListStart}{\begin{itemize}[leftmargin=*]}
\newcommand{\resumeSubHeadingListEnd}{\end{itemize}}
\newcommand{\resumeItemListStart}{\begin{itemize}}
\newcommand{\resumeItemListEnd}{\end{itemize}\vspace{-5pt}}

\begin{document}

\section{Experience}
{\small
  \resumeSubHeadingListStart
      \resumeSubheadingSecond
      {\includegraphics[width=1cm, height=1cm]{google} Google}{Blah blah}
      {Blah blah}{Blah Blah}
      {Blah blah}{}
        \begin{itemize}
        \item Blah blah blah
        \end{itemize}
  \resumeSubHeadingListEnd
}
\end{document}

You are looking for valign=c from the adjustbox package:

\documentclass[letterpaper,11pt]{article}

\usepackage{latexsym}
\usepackage[empty]{fullpage}

\usepackage[usenames,dvipsnames]{color}
\usepackage{verbatim}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\graphicspath{{./images/}}

\setlist{leftmargin=2.5mm}

\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhf{}
\fancyfoot{}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}

\usepackage[margin=0.1in]{geometry}

\raggedbottom
\raggedright
\setlength{\tabcolsep}{0in}

\newcommand{\resumeItem}[2]{
  \item\small{
    \textbf{#1}{: #2 \vspace{-2pt}}
  }
}

\newcommand{\resumeSubheadingSecond}[6]{
  \vspace{-1pt}\item
    \begin{tabular*}{0.97\textwidth}[t]{l@{\extracolsep{\fill}}r}
      \textbf{#1} & #2 \\
      \textit{\small#3} & \textit{\small #4} \\
      \textit{\small#5} & \textit{\small #6} \\
    \end{tabular*}\vspace{-5pt}
}

\newcommand{\resumeSubItem}[2]{\resumeItem{#1}{#2}\vspace{-4pt}}

\renewcommand{\labelitemii}{$\circ$}

\newcommand{\resumeSubHeadingListStart}{\begin{itemize}[leftmargin=*]}
\newcommand{\resumeSubHeadingListEnd}{\end{itemize}}
\newcommand{\resumeItemListStart}{\begin{itemize}}
\newcommand{\resumeItemListEnd}{\end{itemize}\vspace{-5pt}}

\usepackage[export]{adjustbox}

\begin{document}

\section{Experience}
{\small
  \resumeSubHeadingListStart
      \resumeSubheadingSecond
      {\includegraphics[width=1cm, height=1cm,valign=c]{example-image-duck} Google}{Blah blah}
      {Blah blah}{Blah Blah}
      {Blah blah}{}
        \begin{itemize}
        \item Blah blah blah
        \end{itemize}
  \resumeSubHeadingListEnd
}
\end{document}
