Funky Barcodes - D-Barcode Spices Up Packaging (GALLERY)

Who knew that barcodes could be so much fun? Barcodes are the machine-readable representation of information most of us are familiar with. A Japanese firm named D-Barcode has been “decorating” these codes and their products are now used all over Japan. Great, fun concept.

Fantastic spotted trend Lourdes! Amazing that one is creative enough to even fiddle with a standard. Will other countries follow suit? Maybe they want to stick to the rules and be institutional.

And why not? The Japanese are so great at thinking outside of the box; they can make just about everything cute!

Guys, this is old news. This company got for this design innovation the Titanium Award at Cannes Festival in summer 2006. Cannes Festival is the most prestigious advertising festival in the world. When posting advertising "innovation" in executions, please check before. because innovation in advertising doesn't mean just a kinky interesting execution.
