You're not getting it.

It's an affirmation of existence through logic.

Circular logic is more commonly known as Catch-22.

"You can't get a job without more experience."
"You can't get experience without a job."

That's circular.

In the case of "cogito ergo sum", it is not circular because it doesn't go back the other way.
Yes it does. You MUST exist to be able to think. The conclusion MUST FIRST be true to make the premise. Circular.
