Gently

Pry until you can slide a flat head screw driver behind it

Ok, I got my badges in from Re-Badge, and they are amazing!!! 1 for the tailgate 1 for the dash and 1 for that ugly horn cover on the steering wheel.
I ask around for info on how to, didn't really get much. 1 important piece of information or advise was not to get one made out of Billet incase of air bag deployment. Permenate Punisher imprint on my forhead wouldn't be cool. I never thought about it.
Anyway here we go incase anyone else ever wants to do this mod.

Take a fine 90* pick and work a corner up.

Working your pick under it, make enough room for a flat blade screw driver

Other than reapplying another emblem, not sure you could do a whole lot with that space without having an airbag knock some sense into you. BUT, theres always: cupholder, phone holder, 7" screen, picture of your fam, running list of other vehicles you throttled, scratch n' sniff sticker, Trinity mount, satchel full of snacks, or a piece of paper with "Honk" written on it. I personally like the Ram logos :]

Once you have it loose

Move to 2 long screw drivers. Run them down the outside edges and pry out.

It will pull out quite a ways now. What's holding it on is 2 rivet looking things with a thin metal backing plate that's behind the rubber coating on your steering wheel.

Pliers

After I worked the top I switched to the bottom and just grabbed it with a pair of pliers and pulled and twisted to get the 2 rivet looking things to release from the thin metal backing plate.

Off

After a lot of tugging and twisting it comes off. I seems to me that there was very little contact cement, everything was held together with the 2 rivet looking things and a piece of thin metal.
I'm not sure what this metal piece would have done if the air bag deployed but I'm glad it's not there now.
