Λόγος
Logos

In the beginning was the Word[Logos], and the Word[Logos] was with God, and the Word[Logos] was God. The same was in the beginning with God... And the Word[Logos] was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 1:1-2,14​

 

[Malachi]

While it is logical that Jesus is the eternal Logos, human logic cannot grasp Divine logic. And therein lies the issue. Look at Divine logic in 1 Cor 1:18-21; 25-29:
18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.

 

[The_Epsicle]

Yes Jesus is Logos this is apparent from verse 14, however simply because the etymology of our english word "logic" traces back to the Greek does not mean that the Greek word "logos" ever meant "logic" or if it did that it was it's only meaning. I don't speak Greek(Latin is my forte) but this is what Biblehub says about "Logos"(yay internet!)

"Definition: a word, speech, divine utterance, analogy." - Biblehub

I'd guess that our English word "logic" stemmed from the Greek definition "divine utterance" or possibly "analogy" since logic often employs the use of analogies, and that later became construed as a form of wisdom or "logic".

Here's a defitintion according to wiktionary [link]:

   4. Subject matter.
   5. (Christianity) The word or wisdom of God, identified with Jesus in the New Testament.

God made reason and logic, so I tend to think those are things closely involved with Him.
