Front badge debadging

Just wondering, I read that the front Subie badge was just held together by double sided tape? So I read on some other forum that all you need is a flat head screw driver to slowly pry it out or even heat the area up before doing so? Is this safe? Or is there cleaner way to do it?

I would recommended heating it up with a heat gun (or hair dryer if you dont have one), And then use a screwdriver or something flat to pry it off. It's easy if you don't care if you ruin the badge. May take more care if you want to keep it.

Yeah I was planning to just heat it up and then pry it off carefully, but thanks everyone for the feedback!
