Conversation and Speaking Speech Bubble Free Icons | Vector Assets

Conveying the “Pause” and Realism of Conversation, “Speaking” Free Material

An icon where two speech bubbles with left and right tails overlap, and “…” (ellipsis) is drawn in the front (right) bubble. In a situation where two people are talking, it is a design that captures a realistic and dynamic “moment” in communication, such as one person starting to say something, thinking, or being at a loss for words.

Specific Usage Scenes and Suggested Applications

This icon supplements emotions and situations in any scene where an exchange of words occurs, from the UI of a chat screen to the illustration of an article.

• For “Typing” Status in Chat and Messaging Apps
  Ideal as a still image version of the “typing…” animation displayed when the other party is entering a message in messenger apps. It produces a live feeling that the conversation is ongoing in the present progressive tense, giving users the expectation that “a reply is coming.”
• For Expressing “Thinking and Hesitation” in Dialogue and Interview Articles
  In conversation-style content between Person A and Person B, as an illustration showing the respondent pondering “Hmm…” or “Well…” in response to a question, or a cautious attitude choosing words. It can visually express the “pause” and atmosphere of a conversation that is difficult to convey with text alone.
• For Guidance of “Preparing Answer / Investigating” in Q&A and Support
  As an icon showing the state where a chatbot or support desk has received a question from a user and the operator or AI is preparing an answer. By attaching it to the message “We are currently looking into this,” it gives a polite impression.
• For the Image of “Giving Opinions” in Discussions and Brainstorming
  As a visual representing a scene in a creative space where opinions are being actively exchanged in a meeting (overlapping speech bubbles), and someone is trying to come up with a new idea or measuring the timing to speak.
• For Expressing “Indescribable Emotions” on SNS and Blogs
  As an icon when expressing emotions that cannot be well described in words, such as surprise, exasperation, or deep emotion, entrusting them to “…”. Just by adding it to the end of the text, the poster’s feelings are conveyed more deeply.

Editing Tips and the Merits of the EPS Format

The distribution files include PNG and SVG formats convenient for web production, as well as the EPS format of vector data suitable for DTP design and advanced editing.

By utilizing the EPS format (vector data), you can change the meaning of “…” depending on the situation. Using software like Adobe Illustrator, you can delete the three dots to return to a normal “blank speech bubble,” or conversely increase the dots to make it longer like “……….” to express a longer silence or deep thought.
Also, changing the colors of the left and right speech bubbles separately is effective. For example, if you color-code the left as “blue” and the right (front) as “green,” you can clearly distinguish that they are two different speakers, easily creating a UI design like a chat screen. It is also good to adjust the degree of overlap to express a closer conversation or a conversation with a little distance.
