Showcase of Character & Mascot Use in Web Design
Since the ‘trend’ became popular a number of years ago we’ve seen the idea of including some kind of illustrated character in a website’s design continuously reappear. A cartoon mascot can really help give a website a friendly and inviting appearance to help draw in the user. This post showcases great use of character and mascot use in web design, including old classics as well as fresh examples.

Great post, but you forgot my website ;D
I love this collections! Great article Chris!
thx :)
Great collection, Great Designs .. Love this.
Cheers for this post. The company I work for is currently considering using a cartoon mascot for a new brand, so this is interesting to look at :)
PS: I love Meagan Fisher's site – that owl is adorable.
came across fork couple of days ago while doing some CMS research, gotta say I love that site bigtime.
Pretty much one of the most elegant examples of responsive designs out there too. Makes me want to get back to the drawing board with my crappy responsive attempt.
Awesome inspiration! I just had a friend design a killer mascot for my site and I've been trying to figure out the best way to integrate it into a design.
At Twoo we have also a mascot !

Great post thanks for good ideas .
Love the layouts… great inspiration for my own project including a mascot!
Great article thanks so much for sharing! will be coming back daily.
Great way of explanation. thanks for doing this nice job!
Love the list! A couple of the websites on this list inspired us to make our own too. Although I find it a little tricky to pitch to clients sometimes. With examples like these and characters I know they will remember it makes it a lot easier!
