How do I keep alignment of a grouped logo based on four elements?

Question

I created and aligned a logo based on four letters. Afterwards I grouped them. The alignment is correct. But if I copy the group and place it at a different location, the alignment falls slightly out of place. What do I need to do in order to keep the group aligned?

I can think of two things that might cause this.
First is align to baseline grid. If enabled for one letter but not others, you might see changes in the vertical postioning of  that letter in treation to the others. If applied to all letters you might find you are unable to postion the logo at the exact vertical spot you want it. More likely, though, you'd see one or more letters go into overset unless the frames were very deep.
Second is text wrap. If the letters are in individual frames, they would be affected individually by text wrap applied to another object. You could overcome this by turning on "Ignore Text Wrap" for the logo frames in the text frame options.
Other things you could do: Convert the text to outlines. When you convert to outines you no longer have editable text, and it is not subject to text wrap or baseline grid complications.
Or create the logo in a second document and export as PDF, then place the PDF. It will behave as an image. If you need to be able to edit the logo easily, save in a separate ID doc and place the page from the .indd. Updating the original will update the placed copy.
