This seems a pretty common thing, to have a pleasant nostalgic memory of Logo as a fun introduction to programming. My experience with it was pretty different - I found it pretty pointless and boring at the time, and it didn't have any pull on me the way C later did. Ironically, a big part of what made C fun for me were the Borland conio (console I/O) and graphics libraries. But those were fun only because I could respond to user interactions, and make simple games and other playful things. Looking back on it, that was probably the missing ingredient with Logo for me - we were never taught any ways of user input, they were just static programs that did one thing, and that feels fundamentally different.
