No it's not.
You can push the bonnet badge out from under, the boot badge needs something inserted underneath it to remove. Some have mentioned fishing line as being useful.

I've always removed them from the outside!

Screwdriver (protected) works well. The fishing line method is more commonly used for glued/stuck on badges.

I normally use one of the well abused wood chisels that I use for scraping off sealant and similar.

That's how I did my boot badge. Worked a treat.
A little insulation tape around the screwdriver and hey presto! Off comes the badge.
