Square Speech Bubbles (Overlapping / Left & Right Tails) Free Icons | Vector Assets

Visualizing Digital Dialogue and Discussion, Square Speech Bubble Material

A design where tails extend to the left and right from two overlapping, slightly offset square speech bubbles. While cloud-shaped or oval speech bubbles evoke oral “conversation,” the linear square shape strongly conjures “the exchange of digital text messages” such as chat tools or SNS comment sections. The overlapping of the two expresses discussions where opinions are exchanged or scenes of active communication.

Specific Usage Scenes and Suggested Applications

This icon is active in any scene showing text communication, from website UI design to diagramming in business materials.

• As a “UI Image” for Chat and Messaging Apps: Ideal as a visual when explaining features like “Has a chat function” or “Can interact via message” on the introduction page of a web service or app. The left and right speech bubbles intuitively convey the presence of a sender and a receiver.
• For Expressing “Questions and Answers” in Q&A / Frequently Asked Questions: On FAQ pages, as an icon indicating a set of “Q (Question)” and “A (Answer).” For example, by likening the left-facing (front) to the questioner and the right-facing (back) to the answerer, it becomes a more visually understandable navigation than a text-only list.
• For “Discussion / Dialogue” Scenes in Dialogue Articles and Interviews: As an illustration indicating a “discussion” scene where multiple people are exchanging opinions or a “dialogue” between an interviewer and a guest in blog articles or owned media. The square shape also matches serious, business-like discussions.
• For Guiding to the “Comment Section” on SNS and Blogs: As a button icon prompting user action like “Comments here” or “Please let us know your opinion” at the end of an article. Because a square speech bubble conjures a text input area (form), it can be expected to encourage posting.
• For Diagramming “Communication Flows” in Presentation Materials: As a symbol indicating “information sharing via email or chat” in a flowchart explaining the communication system within a company or with business partners. It is suitable for diagrams of projects involving multiple stakeholders.

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 treat the two speech bubbles as separate objects. Using software like Adobe Illustrator, for example, if you color-code the front speech bubble “blue” and the back speech bubble “gray,” you can clearly distinguish between “your” message and the “other party’s” message on a chat screen.
You can also adjust the degree of overlap or completely separate them side-by-side. It is also good to fine-tune the position and angle of the tails to express a more specific flow of conversation (who is talking to whom). Putting “?” or “!” symbols inside to arrange them as question or answer icons is also recommended.
