Original artwork "Peace for Paris"

In the wake of the November 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris, Jullien created a variation of a classic peace symbol invoking the Eiffel Tower.^[4][5] The image swiftly went viral through social media and news coverage of worldwide sympathies and affirmations of solidarity against terrorism.^[6][7][8][9] He also published a drawing in solidarity after the Charlie Hebdo shootings in January 2015.^[2]

The French embassy in Berlin used his symbol in an exterior lighting installation, accompanied by the slogan #NousSommesUnis (we are united).^[10]
