Logo swap is relatively easy. They're backed with adhesive.

You grab the old logo and just pull it off the car. To aid in this, you can get a plastic razor blade to help force it up without damaging the paint. Just make sure to use a strip of painters tape to mark the position and level of the original logo.

Another trick is to use a compressed gas duster can and attempt to freeze the adhesive by holding the can upside down and spraying the logo. This, in conjunction with the plastic razor blade is how I remove adhesive mylar from pinball machine playfield surfaces, but considering they probably gave thought to people driving the car through sub-zero temperatures, this may not be that effective.

I also recall a friend of mine de-badged their car by pulling a piece of dental floss between the backside of the logo and the car. I'd recommend gloves with this technique.
