Default Rear bird removal

Whats the best way to remove the "Trans Am" and bird logo's between the rear tail lights?

Also, can they be removed to where you couldn't tell they were ever there?

if you get an sos pad, with some fingernail polish remover, it comes off in less time. Just don't press extremely hard or you will be doing more work.
