From a consumer generated angle, we’ve been pointed to a new concept recently launched called “pimp my scooter”. It appears these guys are pushing to aggregate more creative and personal designs for the Jamie Oliver types scooting around town.

The call has been put out to all “talented artists” (that rules us out) to submit artwork which are then turned into decals for the side of vespas. If the artwork stacks up, the artists are paid US$15 per panel set sold. Now let me think about this…Assuming I had some artistic talent and managed to get 2 panel sets sold a week for a year (to a worldwide market) I would earn US$1560. Thats pretty good passive income when I start comparing to the Google Adsense AdCENTS we’re getting. Of course I have no talent, so there goes that idea.

Interesting concept that fits nicely with the times. Some of the readers over at Design Sojourn might take to the challenge - So what do the “mood” boards look like for someone who rides a scooter?

We wonder though, how long before some fool submits a picture of semi-naked warrior princess?
