Ancient writing systems



What was (were) the first logographic writing system(s)? I have been
trying to do some research on my own and am stuck at Proto-Canaanite
and Proto-Sinaitic (wouldn't the second come first?) Anyway, I am
confused and would welcome anyone who could simplify the topic a bit.
TIA
