In Belgium, we use it for some types of walking routes, and we do it this way: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Belgium/Conventions/Walking_Routes#Natuurpunt
So we have standard symbols (square, rectangle, triangle ...) which are combined with a colour tag. But sometimes a logo is used, and in that case, we just name the logo. The majority of hiking routes doesn't have those symbols though (those six-sided signs are more common).
