Wow, thanks for the first link, that was exactly what I was looking for after reading TFA. But I wish I could scan a qrcode and let this website explain it to me, instead of generating one with the same content, as I couldn't replicate the one in front of me with this page.

Doesn't seem to work for me, I used one of their example logo qr codes on their website and all give the error "Cannot decode a function pattern"
