You don't mention the year but the emblems are held on with adhesive, so no holes. Get a heat gun (a hair dryer will work, it will just take longer) and a piece of fishing line. Get someone to heat up the emblem and then keep holding the heat gun on it, while you work the fishing line behind it.......it will come off easily and only take a few minutes. Clean any excess glue off with WD-40 or Goo Gone.

I have used thin wire to remove the emblems if dental floss is not strong enough. Brake clean will also take off the old adhesive but use it sparingly.

If the emblem is faded, so will the paint be faded. I do hope you have pans on replacing it. Debadging a car should be done as close ti new as possible
