Heat gun or hair dryer and some dental floss did the trick for me mate, heat it up to soften the adhesive and then use the floss in a cheese wire type action. Clean any left over adhesive with wd40 and a rag or t-cut ect.

That was the full emblem and backing mate. Done need too much heat just enough to soften the glue in order to slice through it. On my 9n3 it was just recessed with two little dimples it wasn't clipped on or anything.
