Brazil’s largest youth and student travel organization Central de Intercâmbio has a print campaign running showing flags of the world composed from QR Codes. The idea is that students can cut out the ads and use them as pocket travel guides. The large QR Code in the Spanish flag below resolves to a mobile site with comprehensive information on the city of Madrid.

The Dutch company LogoBorduurstudio have produced a YouTube video of a computer controlled embroidery machine creating a QR Code. The company based in Barneveld, The Netherlands will embroider a QR Code on either an item of clothing you send them or on any item from their range of casual and work wear. The QR Codes measure 6cm square without a border and 7cm square with a border. It costs $65 but I would guess that there is a significant amount of setup time involved. I had some excellent printed t-shirts made at Zazzle.com

My local TV station WZZM 13 created an iPad app and a simple QR code to download the app while watching TV!
I think the best QR Codes for TV application will be created at Visual Lead or QRMovie (amazing).
Here is my black WZZM 13 app Qr Code with logo!
On a black background this QR Code may need a small white border to outline the quiet zone for optimal scanning.
