where is your style.css file saved in your app directory? It may also have something to do with the ? at the beginning of your image file path, that seems out of place

The style.css file should be placed in a www folder that lives at the same level as your app.R file. You can move the image into this folder as well and update the path accordingly.

Also, I had to add a dashboardSidebar() between the header and body:

ui <- dashboardPage(
  dashboardHeader(title = "Hello"),
  dashboardSidebar(),
  dashboardBody(
    tags$head(
      tags$link(rel = "stylesheet", type = "text/css", href = "style.css")
    )
  )
)
