Can you add a logo to a dynamic QR code?
Yes. A logo can be placed in the centre of a dynamic QR code if contrast remains strong, the position markers stay clear and enough QR data remains readable for error correction.
Explanation
Visual customisation works independently of whether a QR code is static or dynamic, so both can include a logo.
The risk comes from covering too much of the symbol. QR codes include error correction that can tolerate some missing or damaged modules, but that capacity is limited.
Place the logo near the centre, avoid the three large position markers and maintain strong contrast between the code and its background. The smaller the printed QR, the more conservative the design should be.
After every design change, test the final file on several devices at the real print size.
Concrete example
A small centred square logo on a dark QR code over a light background is usually more robust than a large logo covering a wide area of the pattern.
Common mistake
Error correction does not make a QR code indestructible. An oversized logo can create a code that looks good but scans inconsistently across phones.
