You could already do that with Google's "Search by Image"...

The acronym of the previous name of my company was SMEG, and so many of our business services are registered under that name. The 20-somethings here don't really understand why the staff 30+ find it hilarious when discussing smeg-related things... "The SMEG hosting bill hasn't been paid yet" and so forth.
