Can we stop using speech bubbles for messaging?

Can we stop using speech bubbles for messaging? ,

This is my iPhone's homescreen right now. Notice something weird? There are no fewer than nine instant messaging apps, and seven of those use a speech bubble as their logo. We've lamented the fragmented state of messaging many times before, but if we're going to have hundreds of apps for the same thing, can't we at least have more diverse icons?
