G.I. Joe logo in "Pain & Gain"


Just watched Pain & Gain and noticed that the gun shop that Mark Wahlberg and The Rock go into has a logo bearing a striking resemblance to the G.I. Joe movie logo.
(I know Dwayne Johnson prefers to be called by his actual name now, but he'll always be The Rock to me!)

The 1st G.I. Joe movie, G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra, with Channing Tatum
At first I thought it was a easter egg, referencing the 2nd G.I. Joe movie, G.I. Joe Retaliation, that the Rock starred in.

But on further googling, I found out that "Johnson Firearms" was a real store in the US. (I wonder if Paramount is okay with this?)
