barcodes don't have to be evil?

http://www.darkroastedblend.com/2008/04/japanese-creative-barcodes.html

above is a link to a blog entry somewhere about barcodes. but wait theres more!

apparently certain creative types have taken the package designers worst enemy and juxtaposed it in ways that actually make it an integrated design element. some of these you have seen before, but the list gets much more experimental the farther you go down. maybe next we can set our sights on nutrition facts.

Nice, it’s always great to see how others get around design barriers like those. But I can not help to wonder how something like that would do here in the states. I afraid that I might just being a downer when I say I don’t think may people would notice, but them again I might be wrong about that cause a lot of people use the self check lanes and we all know what a bitch that can be at time to get to machine to read the bar code. But say this was a nice little inspiring post, Thanks Matt T.
