Like Deep Purple. Oh, I thought you said Smoke on the Water.
Well, you could do a big Bong on your case.

Why not your avatar, or variation thereof?
For me, the idea of a figure of Theodore Roosevelt in his Rough Riders days, holding a rifle at his side standing on a hill top, would look great on a case. (I'm a big T.R. fan, if you don't already know.)
Or, since I'm a Navy veteran, a figure of the Iowa-class battleships (e.g. USS New Jersey, BB-62) executing a full broadside:
Lots of ideas!

Sean -
OMG that's cool.
Two things;
First thank you for your service, I appreciate it.
Seriously, does the ship rock when they fire those bad boys?
Ken
name it... n I'll do it 
Thank you, Ken! My service is my pleasure, and I'll never trade the experience for anything in the world -- it made me who I am and gave me the career I have today. And, serving my country, of course, is an honor I treasure.
As to the Iowa-class battleships, absolutely -- the ship rocks up to 10 degrees, and displaces (slides) about 20-feet sideways in the water. You can see the turbulence in the water next to the ship's hull on the same side as the broadside blasts (the starboard side). Look at the striations in the water near the bow. That's not photoshop -- the ship really did skid in the water like that. And, so you get an idea of the sheer power of those 16-inch rifled cannons, the Iowa-class battleships are lined with a 40-foot wide, 2-foot thick reinforced concrete torpedo belt all the way around the hull (think of the weight of that, nevermind the weight of all that steel in its hull and superstructure). Each of those shells is 3,000lb (just the projectile, not including the powder bags that are ignited to shoot it).
That's a recoil, for ya.
I think this would look great on a cue case -- definitely tells a story about the owner. :thumbup2:

I have often found inspiration from various kinds of symbolic motifs. Pick a culture or even idea and you will find a rich catalog of material to work and extrapolate from.
