The logo test
How famous logos come out as codes.
We took 23 logos everyone knows and uploaded each one the way you would yours: as it is, no redrawing, no retouching. What came back is below. Every code was checked before it went on this page, and every one of them scans.

All 23, by kind
Four kinds of logo.
Four ways it works.
Each tile starts on the logo as it was uploaded and turns into its code as you reach it. Hover over a tile, or tap it, to see the original again. Scan any code from the screen: they all open this page.
Mark with the name under it
8 logosThe symbol fills the middle and the name runs along the bottom edge, between two finder corners. Short, bold names come through cleanest.

Name inside the mark
4 logosLetters cut out of a solid shape. The dots run through the colour, and the lettering stays readable because the contrast was there to begin with.
Drag to compare
The North Face
A solid red block with the name knocked out in white. The code takes the brand red as its ground, finder corners and all, and the white lettering still reads at a glance.

Seal or badge shapes
4 logosRounds, ovals and buns sit well in a square. The badge keeps its outline; the white around it is where the code does its quieter work.

Wordmark only
7 logosNo symbol, only letters. The type stays crisp, and the open space above and below the word carries most of the code.
Drag to compare
Coca-Cola
Pure script on white, no symbol at all. The letters keep their flow and their red; the open space above and below the word carries most of the code.

What the set shows
Your logo,
the same way.
- 1
Upload it as it is
Every logo here went in square, padded on its own background, never cropped. No redrawing and no special version for the code.
- 2
Keep the corners clear
Three corners of every code are finder squares. A logo with its key detail in the middle and some room around it comes out best.
- 3
Contrast does the work
Bold shapes and strong colour against a plain ground read as logo and as code at once. Very pale marks still work, but the dots show more.
- 4
A colour block is fine
A logo on a solid colour keeps that colour as the ground of the code, as The North Face red does. No white box is pasted over it.
