There is a site ( http://www.beqrious.com ) that has a QR code generator 
which will put a square graphic into the center of a QR code.

These two are the result:
kde.org - http://runeman.org/kde/qr_code-beqrious_kde.png
jointhegame - http://runeman.org/kde/qr_code-bqrious_jointhegame.png

Not really artistic, but centered. Both work with my phone.
