Wrap 2D image into 3D straw-like cylinder

Question

I'm new to Blender and need some help from someone: My problem: I have a 2D image that I need to wrap in a 3D straw-like object. The image should be spirally wrapped at an angle of 45 degrees.

Here is more detailed explanation of my problem:

From vector logo:

I want to make a custom designed drinking straw model:

Final product looks like this:

Now, I want to be able to make 3D model of a final product so that I can show it to my supervisor for inspection.

Hope that I explained my problem in more detailed manner this time. Big thanks to all the people who helped thus far in the comments!

The image you've added to your question is much too small to see any details. — John Eason, Jul 06 '23 at 21:42
@JohnEason thanks for noticing, I've updated comment with bigger picture. Hope that works out. — Nikola Milev, Jul 06 '23 at 21:53
Yes. It's visible now but we still need to see an image of what you are hoping to achieve and what problems you've had so far. — John Eason, Jul 06 '23 at 21:56

How does your object look like? Maybe share your file (don't forget to pack your image) — moonboots, Jul 07 '23 at 07:20

Create a cylinder, choose the front view, switch to Edit mode, unwrap with the Cylinder Projection option, give your object a material with the image selected in an Image Texture node, scale the UV on Y in the UV Editor so that it's at the right scale and proportion:

Rotate the UV 45°:
