Nice logo by the way.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Out of curiosity, why not use OTR for messaging?
Probably because OTR only works when both parties are online at the same time. Edit: that said I haven't looked at their solution. Maybe it has the same issues. Or worse.
My guess was they wanted to handle things like video chat and file transfer that OTR doesn't handle. But at least for video chat, I don't think it NACL will work out of the box either

Perhaps the person who made the logo for this project had the same idea as this commenter.

EDIT: The logo was originally made in /gd/ (4chan's graphic design board), and since the board is archived I managed to track down the thread it was made in.
Here's a somewhat different version that people were playing around with at first (which also featured a lock, a speech bubble and a keyhole doubling as a person):

Then someone thought about moving the speech bubble to the keyring here:

And then after some iteration they got to the current version:

Besides, the icon was made by an anonymous person so it's not really like we can blame anyone.

Is it possible that they simply had a similar idea? It doesnt appear that they lifted the logo as is. Look at the person in their logo; it looks quite different (it doesnt stop at the shoulders like yours does). Other things are also slightly different. These differences lead me to believe that they at least made their logo by hand. Now if it was inspired by yours i dont know. To be fair, that google link does NOT show me your logo anywhere on the page. Furthermore, I tend to go with the principle of Hanlon's razor[1].
