Je Suis Charlie became a global symbol of freedom of speech and solidarity following the tragic attack on the French satirical weekly magazine Charlie Hebdo in January 2015. Created by Joachim Roncin, the minimalist design—featuring white and gray text on a stark black background—was shared millions of times on social media within hours of the event. While originally a tribute to the victims, the template has since been adapted by various movements and individuals to express identity or support for different causes. It remains one of the most recognized slogans in modern history, representing the powerful intersection of digital activism, journalism, and global visual communication.
