Default Best way to remove emblems/decals?

Removing my dealership decal and emblems this week and I was wondering what is the best method of doing this without damaging the paint? I'm thinking hair dryer, dental floss, and some goo gone should do the trick. I have access to an actual heat gun but I'm not sure if that will damage the paint.
