As a tribute to the victims of the November 2015 Paris attacks, Fairey created a poster^[80] representing Marianne, the French national icon, surrounded by the national motto Liberté, égalité, fraternité. In June 2016, this design was painted as a mural on 186 rue Nationale, Paris.^[81] Fairey made a gift of the poster to Emmanuel Macron, who hung it in his office upon assuming the presidency of France.^[82]

The Barack Obama "Hope" poster is an image of Barack Obama designed by artist Shepard Fairey, which was widely described as iconic and came to represent his 2008 presidential campaign.^[1][2] It consists of a stylized stencil portrait of Obama in solid red, beige and (light and dark) blue, with the word "progress", "hope" or "change" below (and other words in some versions).
