Granville Sharp's rule has not been overturned.  LOGOS is definite and QEOS is likewise.

When the copulative και connects two nouns of the same case, [viz. nouns (either substantive or adjective, or participles) of personal description, respecting office, dignity, affinity, or connexion, and attributes, properties, or qualities, good or ill], if the article hO, or any of its cases, precedes the first of the said nouns or participles, and is not repeated before the second noun or participle, the latter always relates to the same person that is expressed or described by the first noun or participle: i.e. it denotes a farther description of the first-named person … .

OK, so forget the theology and get back to the grammar.  Is QEOS at  John 
1:1c definite, indefinite, or qualitative?
