Love this idea, however have a few thoughts:
1. This format only works for EU countries. In the US this format is not appropriate. For example, in the US, education is a minor point typically put at the bottom of the resume. Experience and technical acronyms usually take up the most room.
2. While pretty, the amount of white space is wasting precious room to make an impression with. Given that for the first few years only one page is recommended of length, whitespace is very costly in terms of valuable writing real estate.
I almost think you could turn this around into a resume writing wizard which tries to extract valuable information in order to write a BETTER resume. Maybe have a formatting independent input, and then let the user choose for what country they want the output formatted. I think formatting is rarely the issue in most CVs, content however is. Maybe focus on helping people write better resumes.
Most people don't even realize how much they know until you start pointing out things such as experience in certain domains, processes, standards etc.
