In western TV programs, the show ends with a closing logo, usually one or two
closing logos. In anime, they end the show with a preview and no closing
logos. Why don't anime have closing logos at the end of a show?

Why do anime don't have closing logos at the end of the series?


They do (for similar purposes, but not in the same way), they are called "End
Cards" and are typically used to adjust the timing of each episode to make
sure they fit a certain amount of time. It's usually for television broadcasts
and some streaming services might omit them (or at least used to). It's
typically a commissioned pie of art by a (typically) well-known 3rd party
artist/illustrator, artist associated with the production, or artist of the
original work. Not all anime productions have them and it's said that SHAFT
popularized the use of it, when they did _Tsukuyomi: Moon Phase_.
