If I have partial classes in C#, what should the file names be?

The class is called partial class Logic and would exist out of two or maybe three separate files.

For a class called Logic, I'd probably go for Logic.something.cs (where "something" is different for each file). This would be in the same style as the partial classes that Visual Studio generates (eg. the .designer.cs files for forms)
