I followed others advice, like using dental floss and heating it with a hair dryer, etc., but in the end I had to basically pry it off from the bottom with a taped, flat screwdriver. I figured if there was any scratching, the bottom would be the least likely place for it to be seen. It was really on tight!

I managed to get it off with no damage, plus my new emblem has a bit of a rubber border around it too, which covers the perimemter a little. I'm very pleased with it.
