I definitely think there is something about their emblems that matches their semblance, and I also agree that their semblance may reflect their soul. The emblems are what make me think that a similar manifestation of one's semblance could possibly be familial, but not everyone of that family will have a manifestation that matches their family's. If this is true, then each family's emblem was derived from the manifestation theme that runs in their family.

The Rose family's semblances manifest with rose petals, so they have a rose emblem.

The Xiao Long family's semblances manifest with fire that can sometimes be influenced by their emotions (Yang's anger), so they have a burning heart emblem.

The Schnee family's semblances manifest with snowflakes or shapes of snowflakes, so their emblem is a snowflake.

The Arc family's semblances manifest with shows of light, so their emblem is a rainbow (according to Miles, at least).
