Every epoch in the insignia design had a distinct style, right? Roman military insignia looked like Roman military insignia, there wasn't a vast range of styles within that use case / time period.
Outside of military use and maybe some rare other state uses, there wasn't much insignia, and especially not much insignia that you would call a logo by today's application.

Many cities had emblems they added to things like gates, walls, and money, and prominent families had seals they would use for official documents as well as decoration. These came in many styles and had a lovely variety which sprang from the message the person wanted to send and what they thought looked cool.
