The QR code is a powerful redirection tool, but its aesthetic appeal shouldn't be overlooked. If poorly integrated, it can harm a company's image. When used well, it becomes an extension of your visual identity. In this article, we explore best practices for creating a QR code that respects your visual identity.

A readable, but not intrusive QR code
The primary goal of a QR code is readability. It must be easily scannable on any type of media. This requires sufficient contrast, appropriate dimensions, and high resolution. A QR code that is too small or blurry will discourage users.
But that doesn't mean it has to be visually overwhelming. A well-positioned QR code, with sufficient margins and integrated into a balanced composition, blends perfectly with your communication medium.
Integration into a graphic charter
Even if it remains in black and white, a QR code can be integrated in a sober and elegant way into your graphic charter.
You can :
Place it in a neutral area of your visual
Add an explanatory insert or legend to your typography
Use it in a way that is consistent with your color palette, playing on the background or the frame
For advanced projects, it is possible to create a QR code with specific colors or a logo in the center, but this requires rigorous testing to ensure readability.
What to avoid
A compressed or pixelated QR code
A QR code on a busy background
A code generated with a URL containing advertising or a redirect via a third-party service
Formats incompatible with professional printing
