QR Codes are the bar codes of the future, linking online and physical graphics to websites and multi-media. For the most part, the codes have still maintained an abstract look akin to their predecessors.
A recently released designer QR symbol, produced by Tokyo based creative agency SET is looking to change all that with a stylized remake of the standard code. Mixing design with technological innovation, SET teamed up Takashi Murakami with Louis Vuitton to create a distinctive code featuring one of the artist’s characters and the classic LV pattern. The agency hopes this will add much needed style and character to the bland world of machine readable codes.









Hi Dan
Can you do me a big favor. We designed this code and for some reason (because of screen grabs or something else) the color has changed on it. Can you please swap this blue one out with the real version?

QR codes are proving to be incredibly practical and provide an artful solution for organizing and managing media.
A new company, Snapizzi, was featured in Layers Magazine after Photoshop World. The tagging technology transforms how event and portrait photographers, and even amateur photographers, capture, manage and sell their photos online.

i really wish people would stop posting this QR code…. it doesn\’t work.
There are so many other good examples of qr codes out there that no one should really care about Louis Vuitton\’s variation.

QR Codes haven’t made it yet to become popular in the States and in Europe. But in Japan they are already HOT!
The fuse of generative design and digital manufacturing might push QR Codes to the next level:
On May 27th we are launching a design-your-own jewelry series based on QR Codes on fluid-forms.com
People can turn individual QR Codes into unique belt buckles. Rings, brooches and cufflinks will follow soon.
We think that connecting digital information presentation with real-world product-design is a creative approach to make machine readable codes more personal.
We already launched the design interface in Central Europe (German speaking countries). The response was great so far
What do you think?
