I used a dremel. Anglegrinder will leave nice semicircular grooves in your frame when you slip.
though having done this, I realised how soft the solder was so you can also do what VB said, melt the solder. The heat required to melt solder does not approach temps that you'll do the frame damage (unless you're messing about with reynolds 753 or similar which is very thin). Note - heat the actual brazeon, and in a way so that you wont get solder on the rest of your frame / carpet / testicles. Finish with emery paper / file / dremel.
to touch up: take your forks / frame to a model shop. there'll be an enamel colour to match. primer plus 2-3 coats.
