I'm sorry but no. If you format your disk everything on it is gone, including your logs. Unless you stored them elsewhere yourself there is no way to get them back.

Nope, the logs are only stored on your harddisk unless you back them up online or on another external harddisk. A format is very definitive, wipes all. Even tho some say that there are still traces of what was on it after you format, retrieving it is very difficult (if possible at all with tools available to the regular computer user) and if after your format you reinstalled on it again you can forget about it completely (any trace left is already overwritten now).

I'm sorry, but you'll have to accept that they are gone. Look at it as a lesson for next time, as harsh as it may sound: back up anything that is important to you frequently either online or on an external disk so it won't be lost in case of a reformat.
