Wrap that in a LinearLayout and center the children, like so:

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_below="@+id/logo_img"
    android:gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <ImageButton
        android:id="@+id/blog_button"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="@null"
        android:contentDescription="@string/blog_desc"
        android:src="@drawable/blog" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/blog_text"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:text="@string/blog_desc" />
</LinearLayout>
