I'm looking for suggestions on easy or simple art styles that can be created by anyone. It would be for a 2D game, but pixel art isn't really my thing. An example from a game would help. Thank you very much.

When you want to create a game without access to artistic talent to create artwork, you could go for a graphic style which is rather abstract than representative. You could, for example, represent all gameplay objects with geometric shapes, like in Geometry Wars.

Making it look childish isn't a bad idea at hindsight. Look at An Untitled Story.

Vector art. Check Revange of the Titans.
