Handset and Small Speech Bubble Free Icons | Vector Assets

Unobtrusive and Easy to Use, “Telephone and Voice” Free Material

A minimalist design with a small speech bubble coming out of the speaker part of a handset. While a large speech bubble emphasizes “chatting,” this icon symbolically represents statuses like “The phone is ringing (incoming call),” “Voice function,” and “The phone number is here.” Because it is not overly assertive, it can be neatly placed even in limited spaces such as business cards or website headers.

Specific Usage Scenes and Suggested Applications

This icon can be widely used as supplementary information, from UI parts in web design to contact guidance on printed materials.

• For the “Phone Number” Icon on Business Cards and Flyers: As a mark placed at the beginning of a phone number. Compared to an icon of just a handset, having a small speech bubble increases “visibility,” conveying that it is a contact point the moment you glance at it.
• For the “Make a Call” Button on Smartphone Sites: As an icon for a floating button (a button that follows the screen) that initiates a call when tapped. The combination of “Handset” + “Small Speech Bubble” gives users a premonition of the action: “Pressing here starts a call.”
• For “Status” Displays of Call History and Missed Calls: On the history screen of a call app, as an icon indicating that a call came in. It is suitable for conveying the situation through color-coding, such as making the speech bubble red for “Missed call” or green for “Incoming call received.”
• For the “Play” Button of Voice Messages and Answering Machines: As a notification saying “A voice message has arrived” or as a play button for an answering machine. The small speech bubble also functions as an icon symbolizing short audio data or recorded data.
• For the “On/Off” Switch of Voice Guidance and Read-Aloud Functions: It can be used as an icon for a switch indicating the presence of text read-aloud or voice guidance as an accessibility feature on a website.

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 by fine-tuning the shape of the speech bubble. Using software like Adobe Illustrator, you can fill in the inside of the speech bubble to make it look like a “notification badge,” or redraw the speech bubble into “radio waves (curves)” to make it an icon for “call quality” or “Wi-Fi calling.”
Changing the tilt of the handset is also recommended. You can depict different phone situations just with the angle, such as placing the handset sideways to make an “End call (hang up)” icon, or standing it vertically to make a “Standby” icon.
