Also, I think I prefer the words isolated from the icon. Maybe try keeping the general feel of the speech bubbles but make them smaller and outside of the words themselves?
I like where you're going with this. Could we maybe try some other fonts with #52? Also, I'd like to see what it looks like with the icon at the top left of the words and being overlapped by the words a little bit. Any other changes you can think of to bring in some different ideas would be great too. Thanks!
I'd also be interested to see what this looks like with the font of entry #71. Also, I think the chat bubbles should be more proportional now that the text is no longer in them (i.e., the blue bubble is wider than the orange one). I'm not the designer though so you may have better ideas than me.
