Hi DEV, we're the QRiQRa Team. We build qriqra.art, so this post is about our own project.
We wanted a QR people would be happy to put front and center, so we made two things:
- QRi: upload one photo and get your own design QR code. It's free and there's no sign-up.
- QRa: the same design as a set for shops and spaces, so every menu, seat or room card matches.
A question for anyone who has put QR codes on print: what made you choose (or avoid) a designed QR over a plain one?

Always test-scan a real print before printing in bulk.

For a shop or a property sign, I go plain unless the designed version survives a real test. The matching set is the smart part — a menu card, a seat card and a room card that all look like they belong together signal that the place is run carefully.
But the moment a customer has to tilt their phone or move into better light, you've lost them, and a QR that's pretty but unscannable is worse than a boring one that works every time. My test would be a cheap print on the actual paper, in the actual lighting, with a couple of older phones, not just a clean screen scan. If it passes that, the design is a real advantage. If it doesn't, no amount of branding fixes it.
