    Best way to "wrap" an image to a rounded surface without looking hokey?

      I have a picture of a coffee mug.

      And I want to "wrap" a circular logo to the mug to make it look like the logo is imprinted on the mug. What's the best way of going about this so it doesn't look like it was a poor photoshop hack?

       

      What I have figured so far is to use the Edit / Transform / Perspective to squish the bottom and widen the top to give the perspective. And then I go to Edit / Transform / Scale and squish it vertically.

       

      Heres what I end up with:

      Not bad but it could be better. Just wondering if there are any tips or tricks out there that don't go crazy to acheive this effect.

       

      Photoshop CS 5.5

       

      Thanks!
