While working on a draft for another post, I thought it might be nice to have a sort of border between sections. The line created in markdown code with three asterisks just doesn't have the visual punch I want.
See? Not much to it, at least in this browser and frontend. So I dabbled in my obsolete laptop's graphics editing software and made something using the branding assets and colors. I even seem to have succeeded in maintaining transparency! Consider these three images open source, since that is how is treating the logo according to his recent post.. Use, modify, or mock as you see fit. I know that I am no graphic designer, I do not know my way around mtPaint, and I am terrible at thinking up good file names after midnight when artistic inspiration strikes.
Nonetheless, that has some of the visual punch I wanted! This image is 512x32. I also made one without the Hive text, in case something more subtle is desired:
And last, I made one with a smaller icon and a simple line design for a much more modest splash of color at just 128x16 pixels.
Remember, give some thanks to for the original logo work. I dig it, and I hope my meagre efforts built on his foundation are worthwhile to some of you!
If you wish to use these, you can save these images to your device with a file name that works for you, or just copy/paste the clumsy markdown text I generated into your post on its own line.

Addendum
You're also welcome to make these images into an old-school forum signature bar by adding your choice of text in your preferred image editor. I tried to emulate the Hive and PeakD fonts, but you are under no such obligation.
