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.

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.
