All excellent points, but I will have to say that traditional military unit insignia serve a different purpose than the logos and heraldry used by socio-political organizations and movements. Military unit insignia are used primarily to facilitate unit identification, as well as unit esprit-de-corps. Given that purpose, the elements of a unit insignia don't have to imply any meanings to people outside of the organization (the historical afferents of the colours of the Ranger beret flash, for example, are probably common knowledge only to a relatively small group of affiliated military personnel and civilian militaria enthusiasts). Brands and logos used by socio-political organizations, on the other hand, serve a much wider purpose of propaganda, marketing, and advertisement. As such, they necessarily employ elements that "speak" to a wider range of populations.
