A couple symbols that come to mind are the cross and the fish.
The cross is a reminder of his crusifiction, dying on the cross for us, and his life.
The fish was created so that Christians could communicate with each other without being arrested by the Roman Empire. At the time, christians would draw the symbol with a piece of chalk, and being just two lines, it was a very quick, easy, and unconspicuous way to identify each other.
The first symbol was the cross. There was no such thing as Christianity before Jesus went to calvary. To be a christian you must confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus was raised from the dead (Romans 10:9). So after he went on the CROSS and rose from the dead there was Christianity.
Jesus Himself proclaimed in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." Jesus is our Savior, and he paid the price for the sins of humanity on the cross. This is why the cross is the earliest symbol.

The olive branch.
