An enhanced fastening assembly may be used, for example, to attach an emblem to an airbag cover. The fastening assembly may include the emblem and a backing member. The emblem may have a panel with a decorative surface and one or more protrusions extending from the opposite side of the panel. Each protrusion has a proximal end adjacent to the panel and a larger distal end. The protrusions extend through openings in the cover. The backing member has open-ended slots that receive the proximal ends to interfere with withdrawal of the distal ends through the openings. Tabs adjacent to the slots snap into position to abut the distal ends to restrict removal of the backing plate from the emblem. In one alternative embodiment, the emblem also has hooks that pass through additional holes in the cover and engage supplemental slots of the backing member to provide for more secure attachment.
