Default How do I remove the emblem on the grille?

I was trying to black chrome my grille emblem but made it too dark for my liking. I want to get a new one to redo it but how do I remove the emblem. Is it stuck on with glue or is it held on by tabs/clips/something like that?

Held on with double-sided foam tape.

I just used a wide blade putty knife and gently pried around it and it came right off.
