Working with images in Tkinter
The first requirement we're going to handle is adding the company logo. As a result of corporate policy, your application is supposed to have the company logo embedded in it, and you've been asked to make your application comply if possible.
To add this image to our application, you'll need to learn about Tkinter's PhotoImage
class.

Several Tkinter widgets, including Label
and Button

argument to point to a bytes
object containing image data.
