    I always use floss.

    String it under a few times... pull.

    Can also use nylon fishing line.

    Slip it under the edge of the badge then use in a gentle sawing motion to "cut" through the adhesive. Keep in mind there will be some plastic locating tabs you wont be able to cut through so need to come in from a couple of angles

    Painters tape over the end of a flat screw driver. Since it has tabs this is easier. If it was glued on I'd go with floss or fishing line.

    assuming the tabs are still there are it wasn't just glued/taped on at some point.

    if you have a heat gun, use it for a couple of minutes first. will help loosen up the adhesive.
