SolutionOnce you registered for hubsite please associate and join sites to hub by following below
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/features/hub-site/create-hub-site-with-powershell
Then you can build a consistent navigation theme on top which associates all sites to top navigation and similar structure will appear on all associated sites.
You can build a news roll up which rolls up content from all sites on the hub.
Basically you have to leverage all modern webparts and design the hubsite to get below look and feel.

We have a dev/test tenant which is set to "first release" channel and I'm able to create and use hub sites there. In our production tenant, I'm seeing the same behavior as you. I can register a site as a hub site, but when I go to the site itself, there is no global nav at the top, nor is the "Hub site" option in the cog/gear menu. I ran the 'register-spohubsite' command again and got a message that the site is already a hub. I'm assuming that the necessary change was made to the site, but the GUI elements just aren't in our prod tenant yet.

Via the support article explaining the PowerShell script, it seems as though you need to associate sites with the Hub Site in order for the changes to take place. I'd go ahead and take the next step to see if this changes anything.

@Eric LE CORRE, I don't think that's a particular template. It looks like a communication site with the Hub-award web parts added.
On a slightly different topic, as I've been documenting this function and talking to people about it, I've begun referring to the "child" sites (which really aren't children of the hub) as "Spoke" sites. Does MS have an official term for them (other than Hub-connected sites) that we could/should be using?
Apr 25 2018 06:08 AM
I tend to refer to them as hub associated sites because this is the term used within the cmdlet. Also associated doesn’t imply a level in effect many associated sites are peers and the hub simply an aggregation site. I’ve consciously avoided thinking of hub sites in any form of hierarchy.

@John Wynne, that's the term I started with, but it's a bit of a mouthful. Also, "spoke" and "hub" are basically lateral terms and also provides the visual that each spoke "sees" the hub as a central point, but each is also its own individual element/object.
It's really a po-tay-to/po-tah-to matter, and different audiences will be more open to or understanding of different terms.

i ask if it is a new Template because i use modern communication website and the webpart "banner" is really really too big and not very cool. in this Template, the banner seems to be smaller
May 04 2018 11:50 AM
That "banner" is the Hero web part, which is actually pretty darn cool and very flexible. You can decide how many tiles you want (just one or up to five) and each can be customized with an image, title text and link to something different. The only thing I *don't* like about it is that if you choose a solid color tile, it's the site's default color (ie: you can't choose a color). Then again, most people want images in there, so it's not a dealbreaker.
Also, it seems like Hub Sites went live in our production environment this morning. I was actually in a meeting with someone, demoing their new site (which is configured as a hub site) and saying something like "and when Hub Sites go live, you'll see a global navigation bar...just...like...the one you're seeing here. Huh...I guess Hub Sites are live..."
Working in Office 365 is sometimes like trying to tune up a car while the engine is running...you're never quite sure what's going to happen, and there's always a chance it could go badly.

It's no written that they completed worldwide rollout. Is that still just for targeted release?
