<P> In 1996, after a number of different proposals, the city council of Barcelona adopted a new flag, featuring the official logo of the city (which incorporates St. George's cross) over the vertical Catalan stripes . The flag enjoyed some political support, but was opposed by some historical and vexillological groups, who campaigned against it . </P> <P> In 2004, however, the city council "recuperated" the 1906 flag legislation, restoring the original design . Both the traditional (1906) and the modern (1996) designs can be seen today in the city, though the Catalan Vexillology Association (Associació Catalana de Vexil lologia) continues to campaign against the use of the latter . </P>
