Is this a tool in photoshop or have you actually coded it up somehow? This might be a n00b question…how did you go about creating the BBC logo with the code you’ve listed?

In other words we can delete up to 30% and add our own content? AM I right in thinking then that we have a 30% error buffer to play with on a QR code.

Has anyone created one that actually adds up correctly, or is it something that's not really workable? Even if it has errors, it still looks clever.

Requires some working out but should be feasible.

Having a library that automated the creation of qr codes with a space left for an icon would be really sweet (if I didn't mention that already several times :) For my specific use case, a bigger QR code isn’t generally so much of an issue since it’ll be shown full-screen on a TV display.
