현대에 와서 동물캐릭터의 도상적 상징성은 자의로 만들어져 사회적 약속에 의해 기호작용을 하게 되었고, 공공기관이나 기업을 상징하기 위해 동물캐릭터는 심벌로 만들어져 적극 활용되고 있다. 오늘날은 이 환영의 동물캐릭터들이 중요한 아이콘으로 작용하고 있고, 상품개발자는 세속적인 동물 콘텐츠를 지속적으로 만들어내고 있다. 본 논문에서는 미학사에서의 '상징성'을 이론적 배경으로 하며, 동물캐릭터의 시작이었던 애니메이션과 동물캐릭터의 접목을 통해서 살펴본 매체 발달에 의한 현대 동물캐릭터의 응용을 기술한다. 그리고 기업 및 공공기관 홍보용 동물캐릭터의 활용 사례 중 대표적이라 할 수 있는 서울시의 동물캐릭터 '해치'의 상징성을 분석한다.
