오늘날은 국가 중심의 경쟁구도에서 벗어나 도시가 국가경쟁력의 중심으로 떠오르는 시대이다. 이러한 추세에 맞춰 각 지방자치단체들은 도시 브랜딩과 대외경쟁력 제고를 위해 꾸준한 노력을 기울이고 있다. 또한 공공디자인에 대한 관심과 맞물려 관련사업도 활발하게 진행되는 가운데, 도시의 정체성 확립과 시각적 통합을 위한 비주얼 아이덴티티 디자인도 적극적으로 도입되고 있다. 그러나 비주얼 아이덴티티의(C.I, 캐릭터, 슬로건) 제작에만 치중한 나머지, 비주얼 아이덴티티가 적용되는 공공시설물과의 조화는 고려되지 않은 채, 여러 요소가 혼재, 남발되어 제작의도와는 반대로 오히려 도시에 혼란을 초래하고 있다. 또한 시스템 부재와 전문성 결여로 인해 목적의 구분 없이 사용되고 있어 비용이나 노력에 비해 효과적이지 못하다는 문제점도 지적되어 왔다. 비주얼 아이덴티티는 결과물 자체도 중요하지만 체계적이고 효율적으로 적용될 때 비로소 도시의 정체성과 질서가 바로 세워진다. 본 연구는 비주얼 아이덴티티의 체계적이고 효율적인 적용을 위해 가장 우선시 되는 조화성을 중심으로 경기도 안산시의 비주얼 아이덴티티와 공공시설물을 대상으로 조사, 분석하였다. 이는 향후 도시 비주얼 아이덴티티 디자인의 효과적이고 체계적인 활용 가이드라인을 위한 기초 자료로 제공하는데 그 의의가 있다.
