The Steelers only have one logo because when they originally put the steel mark on the helmets they wanted to see how it looked on the gold helmets and put it just on one side. And later that year they went to the playoffs for the first time so as good luck they decided to change the helmet to black to show the logo better and keep the one side.
The Steelers logo has three colored astroids, a hypocycloid with four cusps, (yellow, red and blue) and the name Steelers written in black to the left of them. It is encased in a gray ringed, circular white background.

The team was called the Pirates (just like Pittsburgh's baseball team) from the time it was founded in 1933 until 1940. In 1940, the team held a contest for a new name. The winning entry was for the name "Steelers," reflecting Pittburgh's history as the nation's top steel-producing city. The team's logo on its helmet is the "Steelmark" logo created by U.S. Steel for the American Iron and Steel Institute. The only change is that the Steelers' logo changes the word "Steel" to "Steelers". This logo has been on the team's helmet since 1962.

The colors represent the ingredients used in the steel-making process: yellow for coal, orange for iron ore and blue for scrap steel.

It is the Steelmark. The insignia used by the American Iron and Steel Institute. The logo was created by U.S. Steel Corp. now known as USX Corp. The logo is used on the helmet to honor Pittsburgh's steel heritage.
The Pittsburgh Steelers has only 1 logo on a side and not on the other side
In 1962, the Steelers equipment manager Jack Hart applied the logo to the helmet (at that time the helmets were a solid gold color) and the Steelers were uncertain how it would look. So he applied them to the right side only. Later on, even after changing the helmet color to black, they left the logo on the right side only, due to the teams new found success & uniqueness of the logo. The Steelers are now the only team with a logo on only one side of the helmet.
The Cleveland Browns are the only team with no logo on their helmets. The Pittsburgh Steelers are the only team with a logo on only one side of the helmet.
