Yes, just pry it up. But, do it slowly to avoid scratching the paint around the emblem.
What I did before, was to first wax the area, to help prevent scratches. Then I use my hands and a plastic wedge and slowly worked at it.
Oh yeah, I also used a small piece of cloth under the plastic wedge to also help prevent scratches.

Your '94-'95 Honda Hood Emblem is held on by two studs held by two barrel clips. (refer included link to illustration.)

What you do with the two remaining holes is up to you

If you pry the emblem off, you can either leave the studs in or also pry them out. But if you pry the studs out, you are left with two holes.
Either way, its up to you what you want to do with it.

yeah i know the holes will be there. i plan on getting the whole car painted in the near future so i figured id take the badge off and leave the studs in for a little bit then get the wholes filled with bonda and smoothed over. after it gets painted you wont be able to tell the badge was ever there

I just pulled mine off. I didn't have any problems with paint chipping or anything like that. It was easy off both front and back. I did mine with my fingers. You may want to use a screwdriver if you are delicate and don't want to chip a nail.
