Never tried it. They do that on car badges though. Heat gun to soften the adhesive and sawing motion with dental floss to remove.

The concern for the 102 being whether the case can handle the heat.

I don't know.

Maybe I'll just tape off the badge. Got to do a few layers of primer first, yadda yadda.

Goo Gone or Isopropyl Alcohol to loosen the adhesive. Make a moat around the badge with a bit of putty or modeling clay, as the goo gone/alcohol need a bit of time to soak.
