I believe it's vinyl but I'm not exactly sure, but it's my dealership's logo. I believe that it's vinyl.

If it is, how would I take this off?

or better yet, how would I take this off without damaging my paint?

I just used my fingernails and got one side of the emblem up. And removed it nice and slow. Then I took a soft towel and some 3m adhesive remover to get the rest of it off.

Up at where I got mine it was just on there with 3M type tape, so I used a product called "Goo Gone", yes it is real. You got to tell people, don't go around saying "I got my dealer off with goo gone."

hahaha, I need sleep...

Don't use a heat gun because if it's not adjustable the heat may be too intense and you can damage the paint. Just use your mom's/sister's/girlfriends/yours hair dryer. I got mine off in less than 5 minutes with no damage to the paint at all.
