A blow dryer and dental floss. Then use WD40 to remove the residue. The WD40 will take off any wax as well.

heat gun / hair dryer (takes longer as its not as hot as a heat gun)
Fishing line.

Heat the emblem up then use the fishing line behind it to cut between the tape and paint. the line won't damage your paint and the heat helped loosen it. then use some Goo Gone or such to remove the remenents of the tape goo.

I just spray Goo Gone behind the emblem (spray in from the top pretty heavily and let it soak into the tape. Then the fishing line/dental floss process, or even one of those plastic bondo blades works well. Just be patient and take your time.
