Circuitverse: SVG Image format not supported by GMail

[ShubhankarKG]

Describe the bug
The custom emails that CircuitVerse sends to people when they register, do stuff etc. have a slight bug. When the emails are opened in GMail App/Browser, the CircuitVerse logo fails to render and we see an alternate hyperlink instead.

I have read about this online and the problem is due to the fact that GMail does not support SVG extension files. This is not the case with any other browser/App, only GMail.

Since a huge student base relies on Gmail, I think it will be better if we address this issue now. A considerable amount of work is already been done but if the custom emails don't display CircuitVerse, we know how much turned off students can get.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Sign Up on the website (with a Google account).
2. You'll receive an email.
3. Open it in the Gmail browser.
4. See error

Expected behavior

*as displayed from my mobile email app.

Screenshots

*as seen from the gmail website

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
• Browser: Chrome
• Version [e.g. 22] : *

Additional context
It would be better if we update our database with png file formats. We don't want to mess up the hard work behind this with a petty email issue.

Good point but. that shouldn't be considered as a separate issue, more like a part of #845

Where is the main image being processed at ? I mean the CircuitVerse logo. I couldn't find it in app\mailers or app\views. Any ideas @MrBartusek @Shivansh2407

You can find the new logo in app/assets/images @ShubhankarKG
