Heat gun and putty knife. Follow up with some polishing compound and then a coat of wax.

wait for summer and park it out in the sun.
use a credit card, or PLASTIC putty knife, or razor blade scraper to remove the stickers. once you get a corner up, they come right off.
then wax.

You could also use a piece of floss.

Check out the DIY section. There's a "How to" on it.

this is how i did mine
1. set my truck inside overnight at 50 degrees
2. used fishing line to saw in behined the badge, you will use quite a bit i got a roll for this, floss works too
3. i used ppg dx330 its a pre cleaner for paint but goo gone will work too to get the remaining glue off
4. lastly buff the area with a good polish

if you use a putty knife or credit card you run the risk of damaging the paint, its unlikely but i have took paint off by prying like that

the warmer you get it the easyer it is to remove, like i said i did mine around 50 degrees and it was pretty easy, but ive done about 100 before that in all kinds of temps, just take your time and youll be good
