No, there are tons of company logos in the game, like the coca-cola HQ by SG.  As long as it's not for profit there should be no issue.  ;)

The use of a company's trademark is permissable as long as it is used "as is" and is not distorted with the intention of causing harm to the reputation of the company....such as putting a McDonalds logo on a refuse dump.
