The safest design starts with a clear code, adequate contrast, an uncluttered quiet zone, and testing at the size and distance people will use.This guide explains how to create a QR code with a logo, how error correction affects the design, and how to test the finished asset before it reaches a poster, menu, package, screen, or other campaign material.
