Use a spatula or a flathead screwdriver, and wrap it in a terry cloth, so that you dont scratch anything.

I like to use a little heat -- not too much, a hairdryer or let the car sit in nice hot sun for a few hours is perfect. Wear a pair of gloves and use some fishing line or dental floss and saw back and forth around the emblem -- it will come right off. Then finish up the glue with goo gone.

I usually use wd40 to loosen the adhesive, and carefully use a credit card or something similar. As with anything, you have to be careful what and how you do it. good luck
