How to get effects/layers to apply only to one layer specifically

As you'll see, top image is of the logo clean, bottom has the effect applied to the whole thing. I just want it on the logo layer.

A white halftone effect is not going to show up on a white text, so I'm not sure what you are even trying to do. the rest can be achieved with track mattes and duplicate layers. Read the help on the subject.

There's actually multiple layers (video effects) Im trying to apply to it, not just halftone, I'm trying to create a glitched out logo like this. All those effects are like flares, moving fabric, flickers etc that I am told should combine to do the above.

I don't follow. What actually is the problem? Simply sounds like you need to educate yourself about AE's render order and things like pre-composing to control at which stepp effects are applied.
