RSSBarcode art
Who says barcodes have to be totally rectilinear and dull? These are actually in use on products in Japan.

My favourite barcode design is the one on the back of the compilation "Wap100: We Are Reasonable People". It was sort of 3D with a skew in the middle, but just enough horizontal to be usable.

Bonny Doon has a wine label (I think it is the Big House White) whose barcode gradually becomes a top hat held by a skinny hand.

as cute as they might seem, they also happen to defeat the working process behind the barcode.
each bar code has a dual error check system that works reading the code from both sides (left to right/right to left) and allows you to read it when it's upside down too.
assume that one of the codes might get scratched in a corner,
if you rely on barcodes for inventory and billing, these cute ones should be shielded properly.
