@Martin: I agree with you completely. Unfortunately I'm not an expert on 
QR Codes. I read that they were sometimes able to be partially covered. 
I experimented with the KDE logo in the middle, but my phone's reader 
software would not decode the URL. I consider my contributions a proof 
of concept. Getting others to take the idea forward is great. I 
especially like the examples you chose.

Since the color logo worked, I personally like that it stands out from 
the black and white.

@Valorie: Yes. Artistic versions and creative embedding of a QR code for 
access to a second layer of graphic from a poster or T-shirt graphic 
would be great.
