The past couple of weeks we have worn our favorite New England Patriots gear around the office and if you listen to the chatter in the hallways you will be sure to hear people talking about the big game.

To get ready for the game we decided to create a Super Bowl – themed QR Code. The QR Code directs people to a mobile website that was built with iFlyMobi. The website is full of Super Bowl history, a Super Bowl quiz , game day recipes, and more!

If you are just as excited for the game as we are what are you waiting for?! Take out your smartphone and scan the QR Code below!

Go Patriots!

The QR Codes that I found were on “SensatioNAIL” gel nail polish packaging.

The QR Codes linked to their website where you could find out more about the products, FAQ’s and more.

Below are some images of the products featuring QR Codes.

Ed Cianci shared this QR Code with us after his wife noticed it on her water bottle at the gym. The QR Code on the water bottle links to the ever-so-famous Planet Fitness video: “I lift things up and put things down“.

They also have put QR Codes on other water bottles that point to videos of their other commercials, including this one: “Bang..Bang..”

This is just another creative way to use QR Codes to drive the mobile audience to online content! Thanks to Ed for sharing this one with us.

The QR Code links to their mobile website where you can make reservations, get directions and also view the menu.

Throughout the NFL Playoffs, the employees have worn their favorite New England Patriots gear to cheer on the team! And as you might expect, there were a lot of smiles in our office on Monday morning after the New England Patriots won the AFC Championship on Sunday.

Since we love sports and QR Codes (I am not sure which one we love more!), we decided to create a Patriots-themed QR Code. It directs people to a mobile website that was built with iFlyMobi. The website is full of New England Patriots history, random facts, videos, and more!

If you love the New England Patriots or QR Codes, what are you waiting for?! Take out your smartphone and scan the QR Code below!

Note: We created the QR Code in color and we added a logo to the middle of the QR Code.

The QR Code linked to their locations page of their website where you can enter a zip code or a state and locate all of the post offices in that area. This is a great use of a QR Code in my opinion.

Below is a picture of the QR Code that is on the front door of the post office.

And here is a screenshot of the locations page on the USPS website.

Every year, Pantone presents their “Color of the Year”. After seeing their choice for 2012, I must say that it is a very nice color! The color is Pantone 17-1463 Tangerine Tango.

Since I love design, color, and QR Codes, I thought I would take some time to show you how to create a QR Code using QReate & Track in this year’s Pantone “Color of the Year”.

In the QReate & Track application, start off by choosing what kind of QR Code you would like to create. In the screenshots below, I am creating a QR Code that will point to a website URL.  Simply type the URL into the text box. Then, give it a Label — this can be useful in the future, so that you’ll know exactly why and what that QR Code was created for. (Also, note the “Folder” field in the screenshot below. That is an option that is available to registered users of QReate & Track to help them organize their QR Codes.)

Next, it’s time to assign a color to the QR Code. Click in the text box next to the “Pick a Color” label. There, you can simply enter the appropriate value of the color (click here to get the color information).

Now that I have my color chosen, I am ready to finish my QR Code! Just click the “Get Code” button — our system will generate the QR Code for you instantly.

After the QR Code appears in the dotted box, click the “Download Your QR Code!” link. Save the QR Code  as a .png file, and then add it to your printed materials!

Here are a few previous winners of the  “Pantone Color of the Year” award. I like 2011 the best!
