It's not too bad actually.
The best thing to use is waxed floss. Not sure about the fishing line because it's a hard wire, but the wax on the floss will act as a buffer so that it doesn't harm the paint. You can even heat up the glue a bit to soften it up with a hair dryer beforehand.
Then just run the floss back and forth behind the badge from the top down (for me I went from left to right first to about half way, then started from top to bottom). I ended up with a lot of broken floss lines because it snaps or disintegrate after a few goes.
This was how I removed my "Tuned By" and pink "STi" badges. Didn't get a single scratch or blemish on the paint.

Ok with the massive Subaru one... it is abit more difficult, I did this one myself...
Doublesided tape and it has two holes INTO the bootlid. If you take this badge off you will be left with two unsightly holes unless you putty them up and respray the entire bootlid....
My 2 cents worth is debadge all the others.. Liberty/Legacy but leave the big blue on
