For parallelism, perhaps we need a fake hex logo for "uncategorized"? Maybe just a hex sticker with a big question mark in the middle.

I definitely agree with this! The Uncategorized & RStudio::conf categories just look like something is missing. There is a lot of white space around the categories that looks awkward.
I think that a stylized question mark would look great in a hex, but I'm not sure what to use for the RStudio::conf hex. Do you have any thoughts on that @jennybryan ?
The size and whitespace issue has been raised here and is a good point: Category hexes are too large
I don't have an idea for the rstudio::conf hex, but agree that it would be better to have one.

That's the exact post that got me thinking about the design of the website earlier today.
@jennybryan
There is a new post today talking about a hex for rstudio::conf. I think that they look pretty good, and thought you might want to check them out.
I've been too excited about attending an rstudio::conf in San Diego. So excited, that I told my wife (who happens to be an illustrator):
- Hey, let's create a custom hex sticker for this conference!
- Did anyone ask for it?
- No, but...
- Then why do you need it then?
- I don't know, let's just make one! Even if no one needs it in the end.
So, here is a raw draft.
What do you think?

Let's now address the rstudio::conf hex logo?
