Google searches provide a variety of Roman trademark (and brand mark, hallmark, mason's mark, etc.) websites:

All of the marks that I have seen are basic symbols and the owner's, maker's, group's and/or location's name. E.g., "Ostia Shipping Guild". No indication of creative trademark names. However, business-related "graffiti" is another matter. It could be very creative.
