How to Create Page Header with customized underline

I am trying to find creative ways to do page-headers, because the typical ones are boring, in my opinion.

Here is what I found:

enter image description here

Are those two separated <hr /> elements with a <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-star></span> in between?

I have tried but can't figure out how to do it so that it is dynamic. I don't want to have to adjust the css if the <h1> is longer than About (in the pic).

Here is what I have:

HTML:

<div class="container">
  <h1 class="text-center">About</h1>
  <hr class="new-hr" />
  <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-star"></span>
  <hr class="new-hr"/>
</div>

CSS:

.new-hr{
  width: 20%
}

I have also created a codepen.

Can someone help me recreate this?

Any help is appreciated.

You can first create h1 element with span that will have star inside it. And to add lines you can use :after and :before pseudo-elements on span

h1 {
  font-size: 20px;
  display: inline-flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  margin: 10px 35px;
}
h1 > span {
  font-size: 20px;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
}
span:after, span:before {
  content: '';
  background: black;
  height: 1px;
  flex: 0 0 60%;
  margin: 0 10px;
}
<h1>ABOUT<span>★</span></h1><br>
<h1>LOREM IPSUM<span>★</span></h1>

You can also do this without Flexbox using position: absolute to position pseudo-elements.

h1 {
  font-size: 20px;
  text-align: center;
  margin: 10px 35px;
  display: inline-block;
}
h1 > span {
  font-size: 20px;
  position: relative;
  display: block;
}
span:after, span:before {
  content: '';
  background: black;
  height: 1px;
  width: 50%;
  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  transform: translateY(-50%);
}
span:before {
  left: -15px;
}
span:after {
  right: -15px;
}
<h1>ABOUT<span>★</span></h1><br>
<h1>LOREM IPSUM<span>★</span></h1>

Im not sure if this is the best approach, but this should work.

<div class="container">
    <div class ="text-center">
        <h1 class="text">About</h1>
        <div class="icon">
            <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-star"></span>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>


.text-center{
    background: #6DD286;
    padding: 1px 10px 10px;
    color: #fff;
    position: relative;
}
.text {
    border-bottom: 3px solid #fff;
    padding-bottom: 10px;
}
.icon {
    background: #6DD286;
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 10px;
    margin-left: 50%;
    transform: translateX(-100%);
    padding: 0 5px;
}

You could give the heading a border, then add the star as a pseudoelement and position it in the center of the border...

body {
  background-color: lightgreen !important;
}

.border {
  display: table;
  margin: 10px auto;
  border-bottom: 5px solid #FFF;
  position: relative;
  padding: 15px 20px;
  color: #FFF;
  text-transform: uppercase;
}

.border::after {
  position: absolute;
  font-family: "Glyphicons Halflings";
  content: "\e006";
  width: 28px;
  left: 0;
  right: 0;
  bottom: -18px;
  margin: auto;
  font-size: 20px;
  color: #FFF;
  background: lightgreen;
  padding: 5px;
}
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<div class="container">
  <h1 class="text-center border">About</h1>
</div>

I did something exactly like this for the KTSW radio station (demo) using an hr, hr::after and a background image.

Here is a Fiddle and an embedded example below.

body {
    background: white;
}

hr {
    background: #ebebeb;
    margin: 5rem 0;
    position: initial;
    margin: 2rem 0;
    height: 1px;
    border: 0px solid #fff;
}

hr:after {
    background: url(http://txstate.edu/prospectiveflash/ktsw/boombox-hr.jpg) no-repeat top center;
    content: "";
    display: block;
    height: 40px;
    position: relative;
    top: -20px;
    background-size: 80px;
}
<div class="separator">
    <hr>
</div>

How about this:

Put a div with a bottom border, and the set the span containing the star to position:relative and move it down over the div.

body {background: #fff;}
.underline {
  width: 100%;
  border-bottom: 4px solid #000;
  text-align: center;
  position: relative;
}
.underline span {
  position: relative;
  top: 15px;
  padding: 0 10px;
  background: #fff;
  font-size:25px;
}
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<div class="underline">
  <span>
    <i class="fa fa-star" aria-hidden="true"></i>
  </span>
</div>
