"Até logo" literally means "until soon/later" and is one of several "até + [time word]" farewells (compare "até amanhã," "até já"). It implies you expect to see the person again relatively soon, making it slightly more specific than a general "adeus".

Where English speakers slip

Learners often flatten "até" to a closed "eh" or misplace the stress; the accent mark signals both the stress location and that it's an open "é" (like "bed"), not a closed "ê" (like "gate") — mixing these up is a common, noticeable error. Also remember the "o" endings throughout stay light "oo" sounds rather than the fuller "oh" often heard in Brazilian Portuguese.
