Want to add some truly original characters to your e-learning or website? Take a look at the vector cartoon characters by GraphicMama. They can also customize characters (e.g., with company branding) or create new characters based on your needs.

I am especially impressed with the professional look and video-like transitions of Stinson Design's presentations. They also have a sister-company called Stinson Media that makes animated videos as well as infographics.
