Use find to generate the list of files you want, excluding *.txt and *.log, then pipe it into xargs which will run tar as appropriate.
You need -rf, not -cf, because tar may be run more than once on the same file, and you want it to append, not replace, when it does. This will let it process arbitrary amounts of files.
-I{} tells xargs to take quotes, spaces and commas in arguments literally instead of trying to process them.
