D-Barcode is a Japanese firm that will design your barcode to look cooler than the standard bunch of lines. These are some examples of their work, but it ain't cheap.
It can be pretty pricey, though: $1,500 for a design, and $200 a year for licensing fees. If you want a code all your own, that can even cost as much as $4,000.
pshh.. come to me and I'll make your custom barcode lines for free! It won't be scannable, and it'll prolly be drawn out of sharpie... so.. i guess you should just ask them...
