The best way to remove the logo's is with dental floss - just use a gentle sawing motion with the floss under the emblem and off it comes.
Just remember to degrease the area before re sticking back on, which could be a problem if you have big fingers !!!
I chose to replace the emblem(s) with new - just peel off the protective membrane and stick down - no messing with glue, which if dropped on to your paint can cause an etching problem.....

I like this, sounds pretty easy to take off then. I have to think about what I want to do with it, thanks for the advice!

SP25, basically it's stuck on with double sided tape, once its pulled off there are no holes, you'll probably have a bit of skicky residue a bit of petrol/gasoline on a rag lifts it straight off,

replacement ones are fairly thin and are mounted to the tape so it's just peel off and stick on, though do make sure you get your alignment sorted first, it's a bugger to lift and restick if you get it wonky or off center. don't ask me how i know.

It is easy to get back "in the sweet spot" by outlining with blue painter's tape. Then "saw away" with the dental floss.

That is a great tip I'm always debadging and never trying to put a new one on. I didn't lay tape down first to keep it nice and aligned so it was time consuming getting it back on perfectly straight with not much to line up with.
