Maybe set a background color and then embed/place an item image on the front of the vending machine using an inventory or just clicking on the machine in a funny way. If those two were modular you could make a pretty decent variety without 'skins' that had to be pixelled
I made some sprites. They're separated by background/logo.
Build the machine, choose background color, then the logo. I could see a system similar to kitchen sandwiches where you put in something and the sprite gets squished to be the logo.
