Add A QR Code Logo
There are specific logos that have been created for QR code purposes that already have the required area of isolation built in. Only QR Code logos will be allowed to be used in QR codes. QR code logos can be found in the logo library.When a logo is added, it will appear in the middle of the QR code. If the proper logo is not used, the required area of isolation will not be present and your design may be denied for not following university brand standards.
Always check the box that says "remove background behind the logo" This will ensure that the logo looks correct when the QR code is downloaded for use.
