What does the rival logo on the laptop in the final shot mean?

I just noticed something in the final shot of the movie, where the camera lingers on the protagonist's desk. There's a small, faded sticker on the corner of his laptop that looks exactly like the logo for the rival corporation from the first film. Was he working for them the whole time, or is this just a weird production error? It’s been bugging me since I spotted it.

Yeah I saw that sticker too. It looks like the logo for the rival corporation from the first film, and it sits on the corner of his laptop in that lingering shot. It feels like a deliberate breadcrumb, but I’m not sure if the film is hinting at something or if someone forgot to remove a prop.

I paused the scene and zoomed in with the remote, and there was nothing in the end credits about it. If it was a hidden clue, they buried it pretty deep and didn’t want to spell it out.

Maybe it’s just a prop misplacement, or a small nod to the audience that doesn’t change the arc. It makes you question the memory of the character, which is kinda neat but also frustrating.

I keep thinking maybe the real problem isn’t the corporate hook at all but why the desk shot sticks in your head after the last fade. If that sticker is meaningless, fine; if it isn’t, then what was the real puzzle they hid in that room?
