Troika's first project was the ABC 2001-2002 primetime identity, which was characterized by its use of yellow and black. In 2003, the Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum included Troika and its work on the ABC 2001-2002 primetime identity in the National Design Triennial.
In 2004, Troika designed the show package ESPN's 25th Anniversary, which went on to win an Emmy Award for Outstanding Graphic Design. The studio has been featured on The New York Times, design blog Motionographer, Lynda.com's Creative Inspirations documentary, Sports Business Journal, and IdN magazine.
