Seriously, just use a hair dryer and apply heat, then pry it up from one of the corners. Use your better judgment when applying the heat so as not to damage the paint, but it's the most common method used to debadge a car.

If badges are stuck on there with adhesive tape then just heat the badges up a bit with a hair dryer and start prying them off slowly. Fishline will help removing the badges too. Doh! Kev beat me!

Don't forget to use goo gone to remove the leftover adhesive residue!

Or you can use a cleaner wax to finish off.
