Kind of outsider input here, but a thought bubble in a way makes sense if
you want to move to a thought-frame of actually people talking. When two
people are talking you (hopefully) think before you speak, this would
transition to typing before you press send, right? It's sort of abstract,
but it does make sense really. Plus how often do most people just type and
press enter? Most people (again hopefully) often think about what they're
saying ,and often change it as they go. Technicality there? I think things
like this make it seem more... Idealistic, if that makes sense.
Was just following this one and thought I'd throw a possible new perspective
at it.
