https://materialdesignicons.com/ makes a font available with a reasonably large selection of brand and functionality icons, using unicode private ranges (also svg or whatever).

I don't think i personally agree with brand logos in Unicode.

Seconded, brands come and go, as do their logos, many large corporations have gone through several logo changes.

Pan-Am is the main one that springs to mind (or it's because I've just re-watched Blade Runner AGAIN...)

So just change the font you use to render Unicode. The Unicode itself can remain the same.
