You do need to find external qr-generator for such task.

Hi, I made QR codes with my company's logo by using the black square in the center as a canvas.

As long as my logo doesn't bleed out over any of the center square's borders, codes are still recognized.

I have only tried this with a black and white fonted S, as that is my company's logo.

Works for fairly simple (low-grid-density) codes. But in the end, there are only two ways to embed a logo:

  • Use advanced and largely proprietary tools to encode a proper grid around the null area assigned a logo;
  • Use a high error correction mode and let the logo obscure part of the grid center. The code is technically flawed but a high EC setting will allow most readers to reconstruct the missing data. (Be sure to completely delete any obscured grid dots; partials will reduce net readability.)

 

InDesign's generator uses 'M' mode EC, which is high but not very high; codes generated with it will have less tolerance for fault (=logo) than those generated in H mode by other tools

    Remember, never say you can't do something in InDesign, it's always just a question of finding the right workaround to get the job done. © David Blatner
