3,590 PointsI don't think there's any such comprehensive resource. It totally depends on what kind of logo you are trying to create. My best suggestion would be to break it down into distinct shapes, and play with positioning, z-index, border-radius, background-color and other crucial properties.
Search codepen for 'CSS logo', 'CSS illustrations' or 'CSS icons' and see how people went about recreating stuff in CSS.

I'm not a graphic designer, and don't own Illustrator (although I went through the course to get an overview of how it works), and it's been incredibly easy to create good looking logos with it.
