Thanks for the compliments, rdl! When it comes to designer codes, I believe that function trumps form. There is definitely no point to designing a code if it cannot be scanned quickly and easily. The code in the TechCrunch article should definitely scan easily across any QR reader on any smartphone. That said, it is nearly impossible for us to test every reader on every phone. Assuming a designer code can be scanned easily (which is a requirement on every designer code we create), the benefits of branding the code are tremendous. Scanthrough rates shoot up when you use a designer code, and they definitely have the ability to become the talk of the town. We will put up examples of designer codes on http://www.paperlinks.com http://www.paperlinks.com in the very near future so you can decide for yourselves!
- cloudwalking 15y agoHow do you create designer QR codes? Do you have artsy algorithms?
- bengl 15y agoIt's somewhat simpler than that. QR codes use error-correcting codes in order to deal with things like damaged codes, etc. The QR code reader treats the logo or art part of Paperlinks' codes as damage, and uses the error-correcting code to fill in the blanks. I did the same thing (only less artistic) with Groovebud's codes. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/agpbffgdfhnhloelamgiofephdchgkle https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/agpbffgdfhnhloelam...
