It is unlikely that any such database exists. I can imagine that a spider could be programmed to crawl the web looking for pdfs. The pdfs could be batched, opened and vector graphics extracted, but I imagine that it would be an enormously complex project. Also, it would take people to look at the results and decide what might be useful, and what might not. Keeping the database current would be a permanent undertaking. There would also be the legal hurdles. A very cool idea.

That would aid greatly in a wide variety of projects. This is very interesting, but is there a way to automatically extract millions of company logos from an already existing database?

That's so very logical, but it didn't occur to me. I bought a book of essays last week which, when I started reading it I discovered, had lining numerals. I felt as though I'd purchased a defective product. D’oh! That’s so very logical, but it didn’t occur to me.

Find and replace all the 1s. Find and replace all the 2s. Find and replace all the 3s. (You can probably see a pattern emerging here . . .) It would only take about 15 minutes per search and we thought we were the bees knees for being able to do it (the client had hummed and ha'd about letting their precious job being typeset by this newfangled method because they though old-style figs would be beyond us so the onus was on us to prove them wrong). Needless to say, our old-fashioned DTP methods have now been superseded by in-house automated typesetting and we were unceremoniously dumped! That's progress, folks! Oh it was easy.

Twenty years ago when 'desktop publishing' was in its infancy, I worked on a Mac with what would now seem like the most laughably tiny amount of disk space. One of my regular jobs was a 400pp volume of Law Reports set in Monotype Bembo, with old-style numbers using Pagemaker version 3 or something. The old-style numbers had to be bought (over the counter in a shop - nobody was online in those days) as a completely separate font, and when the job got to a certain stage, I would have to set up the Mac to search and replace all the Bembo numbers with old-style Bembo numbers and it would take about an hour and half to chunter through them all!!! One forgets how it all started, sometimes, and how very far we've come in a relatively short space of time! Fascinating post.
