Pangean International | Oliver Birch Portfolio

The engineering consultancy Pangean International was my primary employer for 8 years of my professional design career, the bigger projects such as Brabham or DeLorean can be found on their own pages, here are a few examples of the smaller ones.

TEAM RUSHFORTH
SUPERKART LIVERY

One of the first times I got to see my design work turned into something tangible was with my redesign of Team Rushforth's Super Kart livery. Whilst the kart was in the Pangean workshop for tuning the team decided that the livery needed updating. All we had to hand was some spare vinyl from previous projects, so I took to Photoshop, created some rough mock-ups and then cut out the designs.

The result turned out better than we were expecting, the fluoro yellow and red made the kart stand out from the crowd.

JENSEN
CONCEPTS

During my time at Pangean there was a plan to revive the Jensen brand, this culminated in concept art being made for a modern Jensen Interceptor, I created a teaser image based on the design. I also created some concept art for the Jensen 'Annihilator' which was a proposed SUV or Crossover vehicle.

LANDO NORRIS'
FIAT 500 JOLLY

This is a project I found quite interesting to work on, Lando Norris' had approached Pangean to build a bespoke Fiat 500 Jolly for him. This included performance upgrades, but also a complete visual makeover to match with 765LT Spider.

I had a hand in designing the interior and exterior of the car to meet his standards.

BRM
BRITISH RACING MOTORS

2018

With the planned revival of BRM, I was initially tasked with updating their logo. The company's existing branding was strong with a lot of heritage behind it, so I kept the core of the logo but added a modern styling to it.

Additionally I designed liveries for the ACO Le Mans concept car, as apparently a partnership with BRM and ACO was on the table. As a side project I had the freedom to design an original Le Mans car as a 'What if' proposal.

PANGEAN INTERNATIONAL
WEBSITE

The last project I undertook at Pangean was a refresh of the company's website. Created with Elementor in WordPress, The first version of the site was completed and went live, however it was never finished and Pangean International closed its doors before I could add more depth and detail to it.

Logo and animation created for Qenerate, they were a Qatar based company going to be specialising in Hydrogen technology, so the colours were inspired by the Qatar flag and the Logo and animation were based on the composition of a Hydrogen atom.
