The Jambos are two wins from the title and can take a massive step towards a topflight return by beating Dunfermline this afternoon, where Logan is set to make his debut.
A change of system under Derek McInnes left him kicking his heels for most of the campaign so he took the chance to head to Edinburgh rather than gambling on being in Stephen Glass' plans.
Logan said: "Through no fault of my own, I wasn't getting any game time at
Aberdeen. It was made clear to me that I wasn't going to be getting game time. When the call came I was over the moon to come to Hearts.
"Aberdeen went to a different system. They went with three centre-halves and two wing-backs, and the wing-backs were wide men.
"I just didn't get my chance.
Although they weren't scoring many goals, they were keeping clean sheets so it was hard for me to get into the team.
"I wasn't getting enough game time and it was draining. I'm not sour. Everything happens for a reason and now I'm at Hearts.
"I did have clubs coming to me and asking me but I didn't feel it was the right fit. I felt I could stay at Aberdeen and keep fit but when Hearts came in, it was a no-brainer.

Logan will have to wait to experience a packed Tynecastle as home player, although he revealed he actually enjoyed himself when the Dons were in Gorgie.
He said: "I remember the last time I played, I think I was taking a throw-in and I was getting some abuse off one of the fans.
"I was going to Manchester after and I was walking to the train station and I saw the same fan. We laughed at it, it's what happens on the pitch. He wants his team to win as do I.
"When I was taking the throw in we actually looked at each other so I knew what he was wearing and it was just so funny that we bumped into each other.
"He said a little swear word to me but he said it jokingly and we won that game so I let him know the score and that was it.
"I just want the fans to know I'm 100 per cent...
