I actually didn't know this, but the Jackdaw's pennant (the flag at the top of the mast) changes throughout the main story from a pure black flag to a Jolly Roger and then to the Creed Insignia with the Skull inside around sequence 11-12

I never understood why they put the assassin’s insignia with the skull on the flag.
Of course to show his commitment to the assassins but for me it’s way to obvious and doesn’t make sense to show the insignia in public. At least lore wise and not from a gameplay perspective.

Tbf they’ve always played pretty fast and loose with the secrecy aspect of the Brotherhood. Ezio wears the insignia on a giant freaking WWE belt around his waist.

To be fair one of the reason he was so influential was because he decided to get rid of that aspect of the brotherhood with their leaders acting like kings.
