Steve's passing has inspired me to pick up my resto /mod / now memorial project that I began years ago on my Classic. The case is in awful shape and needs *filler and paint.

I tried removing the rainbow badge on the front by forcing it out via the hole in the back of the case, but it wouldn't pop out, and with any more force, I fear I might break it. I attempted to loosen the glue by heating it gently, but that didn't seem to help either. Any tips for extracting the logo without damaging anything?

*this abuse is not my fault, I received it in this condition. D:
