A QR code is usually the ugliest thing on an otherwise considered piece of design — a black-and-white square dropped in a corner. This service replaces that square with a branded, animated version that still scans cleanly: your logo at the centre, your brand colours, optional motion (pulse, reveal, particle, or art-driven).

I run it through a system I built for generating and validating animated QR codes, then check every output by hand against the most important test there is: it has to scan, first try, on a normal phone camera. Pretty is worthless if it doesn't resolve.

One custom animated QR code, encoding your URL, vCard, Wi-Fi, text, or whatever the code points to.

Your branding applied — logo at the centre, brand colour palette, your choice of standard animation style.

Two formats: animated GIF + MP4. GIF for email, chat and slides; MP4 (transparent or solid background) for video, reels and large displays.

A static PNG fallback for print and anywhere motion isn't supported.

Scan-tested output — verified on a real phone before it reaches you. If it doesn't scan, it doesn't ship.

3 revisions on colour, animation style, or logo placement.

The destination — the URL, contact details, Wi-Fi credentials, or other data the code should encode.

Your logo (PNG or SVG, transparent background preferred).

A rough animation preference — subtle and corporate, or bold and eye-catching. I'll suggest one if you're unsure.

I generate and brand the code through my system, then scan-test it on a real device.

You receive GIF + MP4 + PNG within 2–3 days. One revision if you want a different colour, style, or placement.

Brands and founders who want event signage, slides, or video that doesn't look like it has a clip-art square stapled to it.

Marketers running campaigns where the QR code is on screen, not just on paper.

Anyone putting a code in a reel, a livestream lower-third, a digital business card, or an email signature.

If you only ever need a plain code on a printed flyer, a free static QR generator does the job — don't pay for this.

If your "logo" is low-resolution or your link is broken, the animation can't fix that. Send working inputs.

High-density payloads (very long URLs) leave less room for art. I'll tell you honestly before starting if your data won't leave space for a clean branded design.

This is a new service and a new system. The first launch slots are priced at $90 so I can build a small set of real examples and gather feedback on what to add — more animation styles, batch orders, print-ready vector output. Once those slots are filled, the price moves up. The launch rate is real, not a permanent "discount."
