Ah! I see what you mean now!
IIRC the Griffin or Opel blitz has pegs that poke through and are 'melted' at the end to form a head similar to a rivet head.

Also know as heat swaging. All you will need to do it cut off the melted section and the badges should pop out. Refitting will be a glue job though.
