The quartermaster opens: free brand assets and the Carrier Ops Certified insignia f7b9db6

There’s a new public page on the site: hornetbay.com/assets — the quartermaster, where every official brand asset is a free download for your devices and social profiles. On the shelves at opening: the desktop wallpaper (4K, the head-on Hornet coming at you over the horizon) and the iPhone wallpaper (1206×2622, native for iPhone 17 with a clean top fifth for the lock-screen clock), the universal profile badge in 400 and 800, and the X cover and YouTube banner for your own pages. Every piece follows the style guide — flat dusk sky over ocean navy, and the Hornet always captured from the game itself.

The headline item is brand new: the CARRIER OPS CERTIFIED — HORNET BAY insignia. A proper squadron patch — amber ring, dusk-cap-and-ocean roundel, the top-down Hornet with its fins in the cap, arc text up top and the wordmark split below. It comes as a transparent 1200×1200 master, a 400×400 avatar cut, and a navy-square version for platforms that insist on one. It’s for celebrating a milestone: trap your first landing on the Big E, then post the patch. Earned, not given — but the download is free.
