First, open your logo file and download a grunge effect here http://vectorpic.com/grunge-background-free-vector.html. The file will provide in WinRar format. Then, choose Adobe Illustrator file. When you open it, you can see a new window, click OK.

When it opened, don’t forget to ungroup so you can separate vector and its effect. Then, copy the part you want to use an effect. Paste it in your artboard layer. Change the color to white or other as long as it can be seen in the logo. Duplicate it if you need or copy-paste again from your downloaded grunge effect.

Now, step to the main part. You should select a grunge effect and select area you want to add effect. Here, I just add effect to the black circle. Click pathfinder tool (activate by click window>pathfinder) and click minus front tool. Here the result and finish.
