Summary

This component is basically a transmon-like design with circular capacitive pads made into the shape of the Qiskit Logo (as shown below). The component is fully reconfigurable and resizable using the default_options provided. It was a suggestion by @zlatko-minev to add this as an easter egg in qiskit_metal/qlibrary/qubits. @ThomasGM4 and @priti-ashvin-shah-ibm please provide some reviews and suggestions for modifications, if any!

Details and comments

Each of the parameters here is modifiable i.e. right from the gap between the pads and the size of the pads themselves, the thickness of the logo cutouts within the pads, and the coupler size and gaps.
