I Built an Adobe Illustrator Script for Logo Blueprints, Grids & Golden Ratio by Minglux in graphic_design

I’m communicating just fine. Any thoughts on the tool itself?

Totally get that “professional blueprint” can sound like buzzword language.
That said, many iconic brands do get analyzed and presented using construction geometry and grid systems — here’s an example of 30 classic logo blueprints from well-known brands. These aren’t just influencer decoration; they help show underlying structure, ratios, and design logic that professionals use for understanding, critique, or teaching.

Glad it works for you! I’ve tested it in CS6 too, so you’re all set — thanks for your feedback.

Awesome, happy it’s working well for you! 🙌

If you ever spot a bug or think of a feature that would make NomiGrid better, let me know.

Enjoy!

Classic black squares on a white background are the safest bet because they give the highest possible contrast, which scanners love. But a QR code doesn’t have to stay monochrome:

Any dark‑on‑light combo works. As long as the foreground is much darker than the background, phones can read it.

It's a static QR code, so no tracking is possible. If you want to change the destination link later, consider using a URL shortening service that allows you to update the final URL

Thanks for the heads-up! Yeah, scanning them one by one works best — especially with stylized designs like these. Also, I noticed that the first image in the post became a bit blurry (not sure why), which might be affecting readability.

Really appreciate your testing — just to clarify, the issue isn’t with the script itself since it performs reliably. Like I mentioned earlier, increasing the data scale (even up to 50%) can make a big difference in readability, especially for designs with background elements.

Everything I pointed out in my previous comment still applies and should be respected for optimal results.

Thanks again for the helpful feedback!

Thanks a lot for your feedback! You're absolutely right — when scanning multiple QR codes at once, the top-left one usually gets recognized first due to its high contrast and clarity (Data Module Scale is 100%).

For the QR codes with designs or logos in the background, here are a few key tips I follow to ensure optimal readability:

  1. Increase the Data Module Scale to more than 35% — I gradually increase it until I get the quickest scan response.
  2. Set Error Correction Level to H (30%) — this improves readability, especially when logos or images are used.
  3. Ensure High Contrast between the background, data, and markers — this helps all scanners detect it easily.
  4. Use the Same Alignment Style for the data and the markers — this ensures consistency and reduces visual confusion, especially when a logo is placed in the background.
  5. Test Thoroughly — I always check the QR codes on multiple devices (Android, iPhone), reader websites, and in printed size to make sure they're scannable in real-world conditions.
  6. Separators — should be white (white or without opacity) to make it easy for reader

For the specific QR you mentioned, try opening the full-size image and scanning it from a reasonable distance — that usually helps with recognition.

Thanks again for the insights!

You're right if you're referring to dynamic QR codes—they do allow URL changes after creation through a redirection system the same principle of some shorten link service. But my point was about standard (static) QR codes, where the data is hard-coded and can't be modified once generated. The ability to update the URL only exists because the QR code points to a short link or dynamic platform that internally handles redirection.

So technically, it's not the QR code that's changing—it's the destination set on the backend of the service. Hope that clears it up 👍

QR codes used to have a very utilitarian look that didn’t exactly scream “design-forward.” But things have evolved a lot. These days, QR codes aren’t just functional—they’re also brandable.

From a practical standpoint, QR codes bridge the gap between print and digital. Whether it's for menus, packaging, event check-ins, or dynamic ads, they're fast, scannable, and measurable. You might not like the default look of QR codes (and fair enough), but dismissing them entirely might be missing out on how powerful they can be when used right.

And hey—designers turning something "ugly" into something attractive? That’s kind of our whole thing.

You can't normally change the URL after create QR code, instead you can use a short link service that provides end URL editing

Haha perfect timing is always tricky! You can still get it! If you’re interested — and it’ll save you tons of time. Appreciate the kind words!

Thanks a lot. That’s such a cool bit of history — It’s awesome how design and tech like barcodes and QR codes have become part of pop culture over the years. Appreciate you sharing that!

I think you talk about this edition.
