Is there a search engine that tells where a certain font is being used commercially? For example which company is using it in their logo, etc.

A specific example is that I would like to know where the font "Danube Pro" is being used already (by which companies in their products or logos).

Note/Update:

I don't mean everywhere (in the sense of legally secure) but those logos that are online on the web. I think from a technical perspective it could be done with certain algorithms to crawl websites and use some algorithms to create a database of such. Just like Google crawls for text/content and also since there exists font identification platforms, same could be done for what I described above. My question is therefore if it has been done. Or similar to reverse image searches, such as www.plaghunter.com/en/, where you can search where on the web an image is being used just based on the motive.

There is a brand database that does show images/logos at www.wipo.int/branddb/en/, but it does not allow you to search for font names.



Even audio logo databases exist, audio-logo-database.com/, now I am just looking for the same specialized on fonts.

It could be done for logos that are using fonts (aren't a flat image), which is a small portion, but for images it would take a lot of processing power to do it; too much for a free or cheap service.

Based on this not being a common request, I doubt it exists.

Not every business has their logos/etc online, that is also a problem to your request... But might google image search do some good? It can already search images based on other images, I suppose searching for bits of said fonts could wield some results, 'though I bet not satisfactory enough...

While not exhaustive, fontsinuse.com has good examples of use of any given font.
