Default Removal of adhesive tank badge

How do I go about removing a tank badge on denim paint? I was thinking heat it up and use some yarn or something. Will the heat mess with the paint at all?

Thanks

I used a heat gun. A small rounded pick to catch the edge of emblem and just pulled it off while applying heat. Just go easy with the heat. Adhesive remover took off rest of gunk left.

Hairdryer, dental floss, windex, and about 20 minutes or so. Take your time.

I tried fishing line but it kept breaking. Dental floss worked great, then I just used GooGone to get the residual stickies off.

I used 100lb test line, heat, and spirit gum remover that my old lady gave me after watching me scrub it with goo gone for 30 minutes. Spirit gum remover worked twice as good. You should be able to find it at beauty supply stores.
