I also had luck using the plastic (nylon) tool that cyclists use to  
install bike tires without damaging the tubes.  It isn't harder than paint  and is 
still stiff enough to "worry" the emblem off if used carefully.

Best way  to remove the emblem is to gently pry it up using a very small 
flat 
bladed  screwdriver.  Put some painters tape on the surrounding paint so 
you  
don't scratch it.  Gently work it up from both sides, so not to kink  it to 
one side and bread off one of the pegs.  Once removed, you can  remove the 
barrel clips by squeezing the two side and lifting it  out.  You should see 
a 
split in the barrel nut, and assuming that the  split is at 12 o'clock, 
then 
squeeze at 3 & 9 o'clock.  Most  times the barrel clips are broken in the 
process, but they are still  available from most old car vendors.
