Chat Icons
A speech bubble reads instantly as "message" or "talk to us" — live chat widgets, messaging app navigation, comment sections, customer support triggers. This page collects chat icon variants across Pathwork's libraries, from a plain rounded bubble to double-bubble or dot-filled "typing" versions, so you can match the exact weight your chat widget or navigation menu needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
A single bubble typically represents a general 'message' or 'comment' concept, while a double or overlapping bubble more specifically implies a two-way conversation, which is common for live chat or messaging app icons. Pick a double bubble if you want to emphasize back-and-forth conversation rather than a single message or comment.
Dots inside the bubble are a common way to hint at active conversation or a typing indicator, but this is mostly decorative in a static icon — if you need an actual 'someone is typing' animation, that's typically built separately with animated dots shown temporarily within the chat interface, rather than relying on the static icon alone.
This depends on what clicking it does — a chat bubble fits better if it opens a live chat widget expecting a real-time response, while a phone icon fits better if it initiates or displays a call option. Match the icon to the actual interaction users will get, since a chat icon that starts a phone call can be momentarily confusing.
A fixed position in the bottom-right corner is the near-universal convention for live chat widget triggers, since users have come to expect it there across many websites. Deviating from this position can make the chat feature harder for users to discover.
Each icon keeps the license from its source library attached to it, and terms can differ depending on which library a specific icon comes from. Check the license shown on the individual icon's page before using it commercially.
Yes, this is a common pattern for messaging or inbox-related chat icons — a small badge (often red, showing a dot or number) positioned at the top-right corner of the bubble to indicate unread messages, similar to how notification bells display unread counts.
