Use a Credit Card and gently peel the badge off. Boiling water, Heatgun etc will help soften the glue.

Use hot not boiling water and get some dental floss and run it behind the badges, does no damage to the paint work this way

I boiled a kettle, and tipped it just above the badge, this melted the glue. You can also use a hairdryer for this. I then got some average dental floss and began at a corner and just sliced all the way through, do it slow and it will come off nicely. You'll be left with some sticky gloop just roll it together with your fingers to get rid of it, as you would with blue tack on a wall. Get some T Cut or something similar and jus polish that area and your done.

Same here pretty much, held a hair dryer over it for a few mins and it came off easy as, had to get the excess mess off but was easily achievable with nails, then a layer of tcut covered up any original signs of the badge ever being there
