Ok quickly as its been done before many times!

Using a hair dryer heat up the badge. I'd suggest doing it in a garage or on a warm day - not outside on a winters night!
Then slowly using some dental floss/cotton, behind the badge, work your way down "sawing" the adhesive. Then you'll be left with some adhesive on the bodywork. This will come off with a bit of work, and as long as you're careful, won't cause any damage at all.

Hope this helps mate.
