Here's some pictures of them:

Yes, I've found some of these too. I expect that they are just extra attention to detail. I thought they might kind of be like family crests or something.

Actually that http://bit.ly/shrHwj reminded me of the http://www.the-spoiler.com/ADVENTURE/Broderbund/riven.1/riv_logo.gif, funny, being that it's in Riften. Could be an easter egg, but maybe that's a bit of a stretch..

I've seen the second on the wall of the Whiterun general store, and somewhere in Windhelm too.

Ive seen others in Markarth and Solitude. They are usually on the doors of peoples' houses. I wonder if they mark some kind of secret society that the home owners belong to. Maybee daedric cults or something like that?

I know what they are for but i'm not gonna say since they have to deal with something everyone will do anyway. (not the MQ)
