The badge is hollow, so don't ever want to push on it. Best method I've seen (and use), is using the knife edge, not the palm, of each hand on the very front edge of the hood just near the center of the hood, i.e. where the latch is. This doesn't risk any oil-can type flexing of the sheet metal.
Porsche themself states that you close the frunk by pushing with your palm on the hood badge.
Have anyone an example of a badge that have cracked because of that? Maybe Porsche just wants to sell more badges?

The badge itself is not hollow, I meant that it is slightly concave underneath. Next time you have a chance to look at one from the underside you'll see what I mean, and I've seen loads of them flattened. I have done a bunch of concourse events and the method in the video above works well except it will leave finger prints. What I've described reduces this.
