Default how to remove a sticker?

So I got my car like a month ago. The dealership put a sticker on my trunk. Yea like I really want to advertise for them. Anyways, how can I get if off w/o messing up the paint. Its stuck on alot better then I though, otherwise I would have had them do it when I bought it.

If it's just a sticker and not a hard emblem, then try heating it up with a hair dryer and use a plastic card (maybe old credit card) to try and scrape away. Any adhesive left behind can be removed using some WD40 on a soft rag and elbow grease.

If it is an emblem held on by double sided tape, then use 50lb fishing line and "saw" threw it to remove, then use the same WD40 method to remove the adhesive.

Or you can simply go back and tell them to remove it like I did. No questions asked.

Simple, replace the entire trunk with one without a sticker. Paint to match the rest of the car, if necessary.

Parts stores sell a paint safe adhesive/sticker removing spray. You spray it on, let it sit for 5-10 mins, and then slowly scrape it off with a plastic scrapper.
