Awesome, Crazy Japanese Barcode Design

Asia has to be the most fascinating place in the world to live, certainly from a design perspective. Product and retail design there blows the pants off the rest of us. And if you don’t believe me, here’s proof out of Japan from a Design firm that seems to specialize in barcodes - D-Barcode and who do some very creative things with something you might think of as pretty ordinary.

(If anyone reads Japanese, please let us know if you can figure out more about D-Barcode, I would be fascinated to know if that really is all these guys do)

I love anything coming out of Japan. I lived there for three years and they never ceased to amaze me with their simplicity and uniqueness. These are great. Thanks for sharing.
