The Seal of the Generalitat de Catalunya is the symbol
that represents the Generalitat de Catalunya institutions
and related organisms.
It was designed by Bartomeu Llongueras during the
Second Spanish Republic. Traditionally, St George’s Cross
had been used as the Generalitat’s seal.
After Franco’s dictatorship and the reinstauration of
Catalonia’s self-government, it was reinstated, albeit in a
slightly modified version,[1] in order to avoid confusions
when placing the seal upside down (described by statute
in 1981, decree 7/1981).
Details In some situations, a bicolour version is preferred, in-
Armiger Generalitat de Catalunya
stead of the traditional tricolour one.
Adopted 1931. Current version, 1981
