I made a variant using an Indic script (Devanagari), which may be a better choice both because there's an active Julia community in India (significantly more so than in Arabic-speaking countries, AFAIK), and because it actually looks more balanced graphically, with strokes of similar size and shape in the three circles. It still uses the first character (well, in this case it's a consonant-vowel pair) of the word "Julia". Here are both images, for comparison:
