The badges are easily removed, and the paint under is still good. For emblems with double sided tape holding them on, I use a string and WD40 to cut through the adhesive. Stuff comes right off, and the WD washes off with a mild soap and water. Almost can't tell anything was ever there.
For the rear emblem, the right thing to do is weld in another priece of material to eliminate the recess. If you just apply filler to such a large area, it will just pop off over a little time. The stuff will just crack and eventually come off, maybe in one whole piece. If it worth doing, it is worth doing right.
