Truman Cage
John Swihart is a versatile artist known for his roles as a musician, composer for film and television, and electronic EDM producer, under the alias Truman Cage. His notable contributions include crafting the score for the iconic movie Napoleon Dynamite which won Golden Satellite Award for best Original Score. He also produced the music for How I Met Your Mother, alongside various other impressive works.

It was on a sunny afternoon that I received a call from John. He mentioned that he loved my branding and illustration work and he trusted I would come up with a unique logo for his electronic persona that he’d love. His only requirements where incorporating the letters "T" and "C" while being encased within a box. The logo persona he chose is displayed at the top, while the other various concepts below he loved but did not make the cut.
