I have seen this, but still it looks so.

I also like the new icon, but I also would definitly make no reference to another messenger (which it is in my point of view because of the 3 white dots), nor would I make it shiny but stick to a flat design (material design)!
I totally agree with @webratte, @OffifialMITX, @SylvieLorxu and @FranBran .
The old icon with flat design looks more professional. And the reference to Conversations (getting eaten) is a no-go and very unfair. In fact, I spend some time on compatibility with Conversations.
Sorry @Iconprojet, I appreciate your work on the new icon but it simply has it flaws.
@abika It’s not a reference to Conversation app! Conversation did not invent the balloon symbol…
If you see a reference is purely coincidental…
Apart from the fact that he and your opinion then my icon and simply a evolution of the previous! I do not see us no eaten, and K with a conversation bubble that comes out of it! that’s all.
Why not just invert the speech bubble at the y axis and make it a little smaller? Maybe also use the original color of that part and remove the 3 dots / replace them with domething better? Maybe even just 2 or 4. I think the people will understand what it is supposed to be.
*without anything in it.
Sorry, I didn’t want to say the reference was intentional. But three people in this thread found the similarity and I believe many others will, too. This is quite unfortunate.

It is interesting how this is viewed as K eating the bubble, instead of a bubble icon coming out of the envelop, which I think is an innovative approach and reference to Kontak’s K and function.
@Iconprojet would you consider removing the dots? Or perhaps replace them with a lock icon of some sorts? Or switching to another punctuation point? Perhaps that might make the icon less controversial. Please do not take the comments here as offensive, I am sure everyone is trying to offer their feedback to reach together the best possible outcome for the benefit of Kontalk!
Could you also provide new cover/header pictures I can use in social networks to accompany the new icon?
Fwiw, my gf finds the new icon a major improvement over the previous one

Thanks very instructive comments that the lock can be a good idea, remember guys that over the inherent aspect to what an app should do, personally I look above all the aesthetic part of the result which is subjective

It actually looks really good! I would go for the 1st one, because I predict people will now think the 2nd one references the signal icon

Maybe it’s related to the similar to Pacman.
My first thougth was it’s just ironic because this discusiuon. And @Iconprojet just kidding with a Pacman eating WhatsApp. Then I realised the WhatsApp Logo has a phone inside. And so (still thinking is a joke) I browse the playstore and see the similar to Conversations.
Thats my Story…
What about a padlock? 
or a key? 
after all it’s all about keys isn’t it? 
Also Kontalk is not closed like the Signal network, but open by design.

Signal is blue. All will be good
I like this icon very much! Thank you @Iconprojet! But I think the Key hole inside the key is a bit too much, honestly.
