What version of Emacs are you using?  With Emacs 29 and 30, when I type
`C-x 8 RET LOG TAB TAB', the *Completions* buffer pops up showing this:

Click on a completion to select it.
In this buffer, type RET to select the completion near point.

14 possible completions:
∧       LOGICAL AND
⩑       LOGICAL AND WITH DOT ABOVE
⩞       LOGICAL AND WITH DOUBLE OVERBAR
⩠       LOGICAL AND WITH DOUBLE UNDERBAR
⩜       LOGICAL AND WITH HORIZONTAL DASH
⩚       LOGICAL AND WITH MIDDLE STEM
⩟       LOGICAL AND WITH UNDERBAR
∨       LOGICAL OR
⩙       LOGICAL OR OVERLAPPING LOGICAL AND
⩒       LOGICAL OR WITH DOT ABOVE
⩢       LOGICAL OR WITH DOUBLE OVERBAR
⩣       LOGICAL OR WITH DOUBLE UNDERBAR
⩝       LOGICAL OR WITH HORIZONTAL DASH
⩛       LOGICAL OR WITH MIDDLE STEM
