Enhance App UI with logo and animations

- Added a voicebox logo to the loading screen in the App component for improved branding.
- Introduced fade-in animations for the logo and loading text to enhance user experience.
- Updated Sidebar component styles for better visual consistency.
- Refactored HistoryTable to implement a new fixed-height row layout, improving readability and interaction.
- Removed unused Badge component from GenerationForm for cleaner code.
