If 1500 is the recent end of the timeline you are looking at, you are looking at nothing much, unless you are suddenly meaning mid and far eastern languages. From the fall of roman empire to said time is refered to in europe as the dark ages. Modern america did not exist, literacy was next to zero, and latin was generally the only written word, and only read or written by a tiny elite.
Signs were literally signs; and so the 'barbers pole' was borne, along with the proliferation of crests and emblems for various 'guilds', tradespeople of an ilk.
