According to the company, Stage 1 of the Nothing Community Edition Project involved the design process. Community member Emre Kayganacl had the winning hardware package and design, which is claimed to be inspired by the aesthetics of late 90s and early 2000s technology.

Nothing's latest Community Edition Project also included a new category, dubbed Accessory Design, and Ambrogio Tacconi and Louis Aymond's submission was chosen. Each face of the Dice has numbers rendered in the company's signature Ndot 55 font.

Community member Jad Zock designed the new lock screen clock face and the wallpaper, in collaboration with Nothing's London-based software team. It is claimed to reduce the visual clutter and guide the eye towards the key components, aligning with the signature aesthetics of the NothingOS. Users can pick between four colour options for the wallpaper — two blue and two purple.

Community member Sushruta Sarkar was selected for the ‘Made Together' marketing campaign of the Nothing Phone 3a Community Edition.
