Maybe it's because I've read a bit about how they work and in general have seen a lot of them, but I can recognize these are QR codes even if they weren't labeled as such
That's great, but how about your grandma? Could she recognize that's a QR code?

I'm not sure she knows what a normal QR code is...
As an engineer, the lack of consideration for the matter of how much one should corrupt a signal (which might be scanned under different conditions, such as different light levels and resolutions) is grating to me. It’s like scratching a design onto the bottom of an audio CD, playing it, and if it works on your CD player, shipping it. “Works for me”
Meanwhile, bare QR codes are ugly AF and draw the eye away from any other design... Things like this might lead to greater use.
This may be great for steganography — like these US POWs in Vietnam blinking Morse code for "torture" while being filmed, when their captors don't realize that and pass the video, and the morbid message is later extracted.
I'm wondering if I could make one of those, turn it into an interesting piece of art, then frame it and put it up in my living room. When guests ask for WiFi, I would just say "take a photo of that picture".
I don't like this. I hope it dies soon. It has very bad UX because it muddles the "affordance" of a QR. A QR should explicitly and clearly look like a QR for people to understand they should use it as such. It isn't effective because it degrades the bandwidth of QR codes. It reduces the amount of information you can place on QR codes. This is just a gimmick, a funny trick that implements bad functionality. As in Jura…
I think it looks much nicer than a regular QR-code and there are definitely times when you want a QR-code to blend in rather than stand out.
Unfortunately, they don't look as nice as the originals that were shown a few days ago, I wonder how they did that. https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/i4WR5ULH1ZZYl8Watf3EPw They talk about a custom QR codes ControlNet.
There's a way to make a QR code that provides a device with all the info it needs to sign onto a WiFi network.

My phone camera couldn't recognize any of the generated ones. Looks cool though

There are ads on this page? I almost forgot that I've been experiencing the internet ad-free for years now. Thanks uBlock!
Maybe the QR code examples are ads? I don't know, I didn't scan them
What's the noise margin like? QR codes with logo's typically contain bit errors and rely on the forward error correction code to correct those errors. The logo comes at the cost of some noise margin. I'd guess that that the same applies here? All good if decoration is your priority, but if reliability is also a priority you have to be aware of the tradeoff.
i wonder if all qr code scanners follow a standard way to read the code, while accounting for the redundant data and checking for errors.
might explain why my phone struggles to scan some of them.
