Thanks for the suggestions!
Thanks for the suggestions! Here is my final code (it's working the way I want!).

Code:
#!/bin/sh

logdir="/opt/IBMIHS/logs"
TODAY=`date '+%y%m%d'`

cd $logdir

# This loop moves all files in the 'logdir' directory that contain
# the word log, and are not from today to the /tmp/logs directory.

for FILENAME in `find . -type f -name "*_log*" ! -name "*${TODAY}*" -print | sed 's/^\.\///'`
do
  gzip $FILENAME
  mv $FILENAME.gz /tmp/logs
done
