FWIW, I think the emblem depends on the person in question. Their nature and personality defines it.

Weiss chose the snowflake as it is the SDC's corporate logo. The company and its role is so closely tied into her self-image and inner identity that her Semblance spontaneously generates the same symbol.

Ruby's original emblem seems to have been a cross with arrowheads at the tip of each to reflect her Semblance of motion. It seems she adopted the Scattered Rose as her symbol only after visiting her mother's memorial.

Other emblems seem to be either pictoral representations of their martial style and/or weapon-of-choice (Pyrrha, Neptune and Nora) or more abstract images that the person likely chose just because they liked it (Yang, Blake and Cinder).
