Based on my method for my previous ride, I used some length of nylon fishing line, cloth and a can of Zippo Fluid.

I used the Zippo Fluid to soften the adhesives behind  the emblem and then, I used the fishing line to 'cut' my way from the top of the emblem all the way down. This way, it won't damage your paintwork. However, do check if the emblem has a screw attached to it. If there is, the Zippo and fishing line won't help. Lastly, clean it up with the cloth.

Cheers and happy new year!!
Please drive safely. Cars are not the only ones that can be recalled by their manufacturers. So can you.
