If #3 doesn't work, try using an old credit card or the like and start to almost cut into the glue, it will come off.

Now to clean it up you can use WD40 or goo-gone. Now hopefully the paint will not be that much different when you remove the emblem. If theres a difference try using some CLEAR COAT SAFE rubbing compound and then put some wax over it right away. Since its cold out use the hair dryer to warm the area to be waxed too.
