The Complete Guide to Custom Branded QR Codes with Logos & Colors [Guía completa y consejos prácticos]

How Error Correction Makes Branded QR Codes Possible

Standard QR codes use Reed-Solomon error correction algorithms. By setting the error correction rate to High (H - 30%), up to nearly a third of the QR code area can be customized with a brand logo or custom visual icon while still scanning reliably across all smartphone cameras.

Key Design Rules for Custom QR Codes

• High Contrast Ratio: Always ensure significant contrast between the foreground modules and background surface (e.g., dark colors on light backgrounds).
• Quiet Zone Margin: Maintain a minimum 4-module blank border around the QR code so scanners can detect the corner finder patterns.
• Center Logo Sizing: Keep center logos within 20% to 25% of the total QR surface area.
