Logan arrived on the Street as one of the menacing brothers of Mason Radcliffe - who eventually died following a period of sibling bullying hell.
Logan and his brother Matty were later jailed for their part in their other brother's death but it soon emerged they could have also played a role in the death of DS Lisa Swain's partner, Becky.
The character was back on screens this week from his prison cell as the storyline continued to develop but it now seems that his time in Weatherfield is done for good.
Alongside a selection of snaps from his time on the Street, Logan actor Harry simply said: 'Farewell Logan. It's been a blast x.'
He originally joined the show 11 months ago in September.
Harry's followers - including his co-stars - took to the comments section underneath the post to praise the actor following his exit.
Fellow Corrie star Sydney Martin wrote: 'Smashed it.'
While another follower penned: 'Fantastic.'
And Liam McCheyne, who plays Dylan Wilson on the ITV soap, posted a string of applauding hand emojis.
Logan went on play a central role in the soap's horrific knife crime storyline as he fatally stabbed his younger brother Mason during a fight at the precinct.

The character has continued to appear on screen from behind bars as part of the ongoing police corruption storyline involving DS Lisa Swain, who is trying to find out why her wife Becky Swain was murdered.
Both Carla Connor (Alison King) and Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin) have visited Logan on separate occasions in an attempt to find out what he knows about the death of Lisa's wife.
Logan is the latest character to reveal to have left after it was confirmed that the show would be axing 1 in 10 cast members amid a bloodbath and budget cuts.
Sally Ann Matthews was axed from her role of Jenny Bradley after 39 years.
Her exit came amid backstage troubles with the actress notably discussing the show in a less than favourable manner during a late-night live-streaming session.
Prior to the confirmation of her booting, it was revealed that soap chiefs had also axed Daniel Brocklebank from his role of Billy Mayhew.
The soap has been rocked by exits over the last 12 months with Sue Devaney (Debbie Webster), Shelley King (Yasmeen Metcalfe), Paddy Bever (Max Turner), Colson Smith (PC Craig Tinker) and Luca Toolan (Mason Radcliffe) also axed from their roles.
Helen Worth (Gail Platt), Sue Cleaver (Eileen Grimshaw), Charlotte Jordan (Daisy Midgeley) and Adam Hussain (Aadi Alahan) also all chose to quit their roles on the show.
Soap's most harrowing teen storylines
We take a look at other harrowing teen soap storylines from soaps Coronation Street, EastEnders, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks.
Belle Dingle's schizophrenia in Emmerdale - Belle's (Eden Taylor-Draper) traumatic journey in Emmerdale took a dark turn when, after accidentally killing her best friend Gemma at just 16, her mental health began to spiral.
The storyline, which saw Belle struggling with her grief and guilt, showcased her battle with hearing Gemma's voice inside her head, leading to a dramatic decline in her well-being.
Hannah Ashworth's anorexia in Hollyoaks - Viewers were horrified as they watched Hannah (Emma Rigby), a seemingly innocent teen, spiral into dangerous behavior, starving herself in an attempt to achieve what she thought was the ideal body.
As Hannah's condition worsened, the storyline became more intense, culminating in her being hospitalised for two months as she fought for her life.
Bethany Platt's grooming ordeal in Coronation Street - Vulnerable schoolgirl, played by Lucy Fallon, was at the centre of one of Corrie's darkest storylines to date when she fell under the spell of her older boyfriend and sexual predator.
The controversial scenes saw Nathan groom and manipulate the 16-year-old before coercing her into sleeping with his friends, with one of them raping her.
Whitney Dean's abuse from Tony in EastEnders - Since the age of 12, she had been in a twisted relationship with her stepmum Bianca's boyfriend, Tony King. The predator had groomed young Whit (Shona McGarty), making her believe she was in love and planning to run away with him.
On her 16th birthday, the traumatised teen finally revealed the years of abuse to Bianca. Tony was swiftly sent to prison sentenced for 13 years.
