Did you try heating it up a bit with a hairdryer or heat gun first? That should help release some of that adhesive and make it come off easier. Usually...you can just peel those things off and deal with the remaining adhesive with goo gone or something (I just use tar and bug remover personally) and your all set....but if it seems to be overly tough, you might try to heat it up a bit....but dont burn your paint!! Its easy to do and not burn your paint...just saying...be careful if you are using an actual heat gun....if using a hairdryer...its a bit harder to hurt it as the heat is not near as focused.

Is the sticker flat or does it protrude outwards like the emblems?

For protruding emblems: blowdryer, fishing line, bug/tar remover, detailing clay
Use the blowdyer to heat the area. Use the fishing line to "cut away" at the adhesive between the emblem and the paint. Clean up the adhesive with the bug/tar remover. Remove stubborn adhesives that are above the surface with detailing clay. Polish and wax.

For flat emblems: towel, goo gone/bug remover, detailing clay
Saturate the towel with goo gone/bug remover and place it over the sticker. Let it sit for a while. Remove what you can and repeat until gone. Followup with detailing clay, polish and wax.
