To get a safe logo for the front, you can find such a thing on ebay, they are referred to as ‘safe plates’. If you look carefully at the door you may be able to find the screw holes where an original safe plate would have been, with those measurements, you can try to get a plate of exactly the right dimensions.
If you provide your location, somebody here may be able to point you to a source that is local to you.
If you can provide more information about the safe (serial numbers, pictures), it should be possible to find out what the safe looked like originally. Alternatively, you can carefully sand back the black paint to reveal what is underneath. You may find that it has several older layers of paint on top of the original. If you take this approach, be aware that old paint is often toxic, so be sure to wear a mask.
There are some good ‘before and after’ pictures of safes that have been reconditioned and redecorated in the safes forum.

The “Safe Plates and Escutcheons” section here is well worth a look!
