Here's something rather sugoi in terms of graphic design - Japanese firm d-barcode and its American counterpart Barcode Revolution, have taken the humble icon and made it a cheeky, quirky, clever form of illustration all on its own.
Have a look at more at Cool Hunting and The Dieline.

I can imagine all those folk that have barcode tattoos looking at these in dismay. Fantastic!

Thanks for showing an interest in my Barcode Art Phil.
I have been distorting barcodes for fun since 2001. Check out my series of barcode shapes that are compatible with scanning technology. http://www.barcodeart.com/distorted_barcodes.html
