Every website has its logo, has its visual identity, an element that communicates its culture, its vision, the "personification" of a company. From letters to images and illustrations, every visual identity is unique and has something different to express.
Today we bring you 25 examples of websites with animal mascots, websites that have chosen to represent their identity using animals. Animals are always cute, playful and beautiful, so they are certainly a good choice to get attention.
Examples of Animal Website Mascots
From octopus to monkeys and even a fly, we will show how several websites use animal mascots in web design in a beautiful and creative way. You can have a serious lion logo, a colorful duck or a funny dinosaur to represent your website, just use whatever is best to represent your identity. And by using animal mascots it doesn't mean you won't be taken seriously, so check out these examples and give a thought to using animals in web design.

Wow... this are really nice. Great source of inspiration. Thank you!
Some great examples here. When using pictures of animals (especially cute or cartoon images), it's very easy to let your site drift away from professionalism. These sites have succeeded in maintaining the necessary standard, IMO.
These are pretty good but you forgot the most famous one ... Twitter :-D
Cant get enough of Mailchimp!
Really like the ones form Designzillas as it's integrated about ten times on their website.
Branded07 got a cute animal mascot.
I second Adam on missing out twitter from the list.
How about http://www.webMunky.com? :)
LOVE the designzillas mascot!
I don't know about you guys but I like the llamas on StillPointe's site. There's just something funny about a llama.
I was looking around for animal inspiration in design for my company and game across this post. Thanks so much, it was EXACTLY what I was looking for.
Mascots give life to a website!

Love this list. I also like the fat pudding cat

Nice selection indeed. But, in my opinion, some design examples are depressive. I would never use such animal images for a logo of my company. But of course there are lots of worthy and adequate variants, too.
Great collection, I like the design of http://www.mailchimp.com/ it's so funny.
Very nice selection, i really like the cornerd monsters
I think having a site mascot is a great idea. You are able to incorporate it into your logo as well as having them as a quirky feature on the rest of your site. I agree with Pragmatic Design in that they don't go over the top with the design just because there is a mascot on the site, however, not all sites have to be entirely professional and clean; it all depends on the business and your audience. These mascots are used on sites where the audience are more likely to appreciate the style and in some cases wittiness of the mascots.
You should look at my school mascot, unique like you never seen before, google "Frenkel" and see the mascot, never seen more beautiful than that.
Good design going on here. Props for posting. I have been looking for ideas for a new site and I think I found them! Thanks.
Very nice designs!
Mooze Design FTW! I love that snout.
looks great. thanks for sharing.
