What tool would you use to do this?

Customer supplies a logon in Illustrator format and wants it wrapped
around a cylinder in Photoshop.

It's actually a machine but the face is a cylinder.

You could use a displacement map in Photoshop.

I was not able to get the perspective that way.

Am I doing it wrong? Do you have a method that would provide the
perspective control?

I'd really like to see it.

If it's worth spending $56 US on, try Andromeda's 3-D filter.

Their filters are very good and straightforward to use.

Thanks Laura, that one even lists "surface wrapping" as one of its
features. I think I'll buy it and see.

I hate to admit that my response was a little vague. I apologize for that!

With regard to your follow-up post, it would help to see an example of the
files you're using. Can you put them on a website so we can download them?

I'd like to help, if I can, but I need to see what you're challenged with.

Hope you had a nice weekend!

If you want a front elevation (no perspective) you could try my plugins
for Illustrator (vector) and Photoshop (raster):

I have actually solved a problem just like that. A customer needed at
logo to look like it was printed on a glass. I used the new 3D tools
in Illustrator CS. With some experiments I got it to work and I could
export the wrapped logo to Photoshop.

So take a look at the 3D tools in Illustrator.

Adobe Dimensions was perfect for this sort of thing ---- probably you have a
copy somewhere. Shame it didn't survive (or any of the other simple vector 3D
programs).

Otherwise, you'll either need a 3D modelling tool of some sort, or to do a
fancy bit of re-drawing in Illustrator or FreeHand. In the past I've actually
printed such out, wrapped it into a cylinder, photographed that and then
re-drawn. Import the final drawing into PS & voila!
