Credit card and some detailer then scratch-X (or similar) for after.
Or rub it with your finger until it comes off.

I find that the residue from the badges is easier to remove when there is a bit of heat to soften it. So carefully warm it up with a hairdrier then try a product like Tardis or Citrus Glue and Tar remover with a cloth
Hope this helps you

You could try some 2400 grit paper on a small block. If you do be very carefull to try and sand only over the raised glue. If you do hit the clearcoat then dont worry too much as it will buff out with some polish. Just dont go through the clearcoat.
Edited to add where the paint has come off. Touch up base coat. Filling in the hole. But not to level. Then touch up with clear coat. Sand tos flat carefully. Then buff to finish. If you have faded paint a decent bodyshop should be able to make you a small pot of paint to match the fade.
Their is a good how to for paint chips in the how to section.

I know i was swapping fingers and burnt like 3. Then i thought there must be another way 
Rubber works well as it creates heat.
