SVG for iBooks?

Hi all!

I wanted to achieve this effect (attached img)

To make it look crisp when scaled I opted for SVG vectors using the code further down. It works fine for Kindle KF8 and other epub readers, except for iBooks. Nothing shows, just a question mark graphic. My question is, what is missing in the code for it to work on iBooks?

On another note, the iBooks Assets Guide states that eBooks will get rejected if images contain embedded text. In that regards I am worried about using this type of graphics for headings. The text in this svg is not searchable unfortunately, I do not know if that is possible to do with svg.

Anyone got any experience using svg with text this way when publishing to iBooks?

Code:
