I'm not sure what you mean. XMP is metadata. AFAIK it doesn't encode logos. We do have a "custom metadata panel" for Photoshop <http://creativecommons.org/technology/xmp> that you can use to embed CC metadata via XMP in images and PDFs.

you choose it from the menu and save it. After this is done, you see
next to the file name, a standard copyright symbol. Anything like that
available so if I want to distribute images that are set-up to be
"Attribution" or a variation, it would allow a CC mark to appear when
the file is opened?

In what context do you see a copyright symbol? I suspect it is some application looking at the copyright status in XMP and displaying a (c) when appropriate. The question is what application. We could try to convince its creators to display a (cc) if CC license metadata is embedded.
