This is very simple but that's not the only problem,.
Thats too simple.
Maybe this is too simple? Honestly what do you think?

This is the only other one I found.

This is a sort of my first 100% so I went simple.
I think it could be useful, but it could also look much better. Something more like this:
images
Will see if i could make it look better in anyway.

it lacks symmetry as well
Reworked it hope its better...

Plus red and freen isn't a great match unless you're talking about Cristmas chat.
Changed the color scheme :|

freen?Why have I never heard of this color....
He means green... I suppose..

Edit:

Love this new update better then the previous one, well made, and good choice for the green color :D
Thanks!
I'm not sure what I think of the new background. It's a little busy but I like the transparency, it gives it more depth. It seems like this icon was intended for something. If you could show us how you intend to use it, we might be able to give better feed back. Is it meant to go with a typical wc3 type of game or is it meant for something techi?
Am not using it anywhere yet..
It can be used as per user's convenience...
where it fits better for them..:wink:

Much better. I vote for approval. It's very simple but since the only other one on the hive looks totally different, I think it will be useful. Also, it matters a lot what the other buttons will be in the icon scheme. If they are all green like this, then they would fit very well. 3/5 If there were better chat icons available I might feel differently, but the "use" value makes up for the simplicity and your changes made it look much smoother and more professional. Good work!
