Small school, little name recognition, could it hurt my chances?

I'll graduate from a very small liberal arts college with very little name recognition in a few months. I'm not trying to discount the education I've recieved, but I know from SA recruiting what the situation is. I have a 3.9 gpa heading into my last semester, planning on working to keep that where it is. I'll start as an analyst at a BB in the summer. I'm not dead set on getting an MBA but I like to have all options well researched. How much could my small school for undergrad hurt me in MBA admissions?

Thanks in advance, I appreciate any insight.
