Default Adhesive to use for emblems?

The emblem on my rear hatch is pulled up slightly on one corner. I want to secure it back down but I'm not sure what adhesive to use? Any suggestions? I suppose I could buy a new emblem but it is just about 1/4" peeled up.

Some 3M double stick tape would do the trick. If you have to fix it, I would just replace it with a new one. Not sure if there is any other way to get the emblem to stick down.

Trying to pull it up, to put more double sided tape, I don't think you'll do that with any success. And to completely remove it and put new tape on. Well that would be hard too. Trying to cut the tape around the circle and flags. Not a good idea. Buy a new one and cut your losses. Unless you can use a heat gun and heat up the emblem where it is right now and get the existing tape to stick again. If that fails buy a new one. My .02
