In Belgium, we use it for some types of walking routes, and we do it this way: <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Belgium/Conventions/Walking_Routes#Natuurpunt">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Belgium/Conventions/Walking_Routes#Natuurpunt</a><br>
<br>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.<br><br>The majority of hiking routes doesn't have those symbols though (those six-sided signs are more common). <br>

<div class="im">> The symbol tag is used for describing hiking trails by a human readable<br>

><br>
> symbol = red bar<br>
> osmc:symbol = red:white:red_bar<br>
><br>
> Implementing software may choose to use a local database for connecting<br>
> osmc:symbol to an icon and to a name, or it can choose to loud read the<br>
> value of the symbol tag, if no local naming is available.<br>
</div><div class="im">> Similar to {{Key|name}}, you can use international naming options too,<br>
> for example:<br>
><br>
> symbol = piros sáv (this is Hungarian)<br>
> symbol:en = red bar<br>
<br>
<br>
</div>I think it would be better to use<br>
<br>
symbol=red_bar<br>
symbol:hr (or whatever the lc for Hungarian is) = piros_sáv<br>
<br>
