I used floss to remove the emblems on my S2000. It leaves residue behind, but you don't risk digging one of the corners of the emblem into the paint if you try to pry it off my hand. I used WD-40 after that to soak the residue, then heated it a bit with a blow dryer. Finger nails work for the glue/goop, that's how I did it. I couldn't think of anything else at the time that would be gentle on my paint. It worked like a charm, no swirls or scratches were left behind. Just be patient and don't get the paint too hot.
