Our club’s crest was born in 1988, long before Porsche AG implemented a uniform format for all official Porsche Clubs worldwide |
Alan sketched the initial drafts by hand, and when he was finally satisfied, his wife helped capture the final draft digitally via computer-aided design. |
The logo was subsequently updated to feature a narrower shield in the background. The keen-eyed among us will note that the hand-drawn word PORSCHE was retained, up till today! |

Bonus information: With Alan’s attention to detail, he incorporated 3D lighting to project a light source from the top-left, casting a light and shallow shadow. Members will also note the lion’s mane sticking out of the crest; Alan mentions that’s how fast he’s going!
PCS’ current and official club logo is below, which is endorsed and in compliance with Porsche AG and Porsche Community Management.
Alan was a member since the founding of our club. He studied architecture in the University of Western Australia, and as an architect was involved in many iconic projects locally, including 29 Leng Kee road, Raffles City, The Treasury, as well as overseas.
Alan retired in 2011, and currently enjoys calligraphy, building and painting model kit airplanes.
