How to alter a beamer template

Question

I am using the "Conference presentation" Beamer-Template from this link. I want to change it slightly, however. Here is what I want to do:

On the title page, I want to insert a figure below the date. I have no clue as on how to do this.
I want to insert a logo. I know, in the comments, the author of the template mentions one way to do this (the pgfdeclareimage part). However, I want this logo to appear on the upper right corner of every slight. So, starting on the second slight, at the top, there is this blue bar. And I want the logo to appear at the upper right corner, inside this bar. Is this possible? Is it possible only for .png or also for .svg ?

As always, very gratefull for help!

Minimal Working Example:

\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{Madrid}

\usepackage{textpos} 

\addtobeamertemplate{frametitle}{}{%
    \begin{textblock*}{100mm}(\textwidth,-1cm)
        \includegraphics[height=1cm,width=1cm]{./figures/web_rgb_en}
\end{textblock*}}

\title[Final Presentation] {Title of my Presentation }
\author[Author 1, Author 2] {Author 1 \and Author 2}
%\titlegraphic{\includegraphics[width=2cm]{./figures/inst_logo}

\begin{document}

    \begin{frame}
    \titlepage
\end{frame}


\begin{frame}{Outline}
\tableofcontents
\end{frame}

\end{document}

And I am trying to insert this figure.

And If I try and include the \titlegraphic command, TeXstudio does not compile, it says: "File ended while scanning use of \titlegraphic"

Please do not ask multiple questions in a single questions. Nevertheless, for your second question see https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/180628/36296. Using png/pdf etc is certainly easier, but you could use the svg package (needs shell escape and some external tools installed) — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Aug 24 '18 at 09:02
thx very much, samcarter! - If I use the code provided in your link, for some reason, the figure appears in the upper right corner, but it is not completely on the slide! I was playing around with the textblock size and the graphic width, but the problem persists. — Luk, Aug 24 '18 at 09:34
Can you add a minimal working example (MWE) that demonstrates your problem? — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Aug 24 '18 at 09:36
allright, samcarter, I did. I included both questions in the MWE. — Luk, Aug 24 '18 at 09:51
I updated my answer, however I had to replace the image because the link in your question is not working. — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Aug 24 '18 at 09:58

Concerning your first question, you can use \titlegraphic{\includegraphics[width=2cm]{example-image}}
for the second question, you could use the same technique as in https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/180628/36296

\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{Madrid}

\usepackage{textpos} 

\addtobeamertemplate{frametitle}{}{%
    \begin{textblock*}{100mm}(.956\textwidth,-0.9cm)
        \includegraphics[height=0.8cm,width=0.8cm]{example-image}
\end{textblock*}}

\title[Final Presentation] {Title of my Presentation }
\author[Author 1, Author 2] {Author 1 \and Author 2}
\titlegraphic{\includegraphics[width=2cm]{example-image}}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
    \titlepage
\end{frame}


\begin{frame}{Outline}
\tableofcontents
\end{frame}

\end{document}

awesome, thx so much, samcarter! .. I know you don't want me to ask several questions here, so I will open another if you wat. But would you know a way to make this blue bar fade in color from left to right? – Luk Aug 24 '18 at 10:06
@user503842 Have a look at the Warsaw theme. If this does not help please ask a new question – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Aug 24 '18 at 10:11
