The front has that wrap-around design of other cars and is large, so I guess GM figured they had to make that front "Bow-Tie" larger than the T.M.s normally seen on other brands too. It's like they wanted to make sure nobody confused it for a Honda or Toyota is the feeling I get. But I am only speculating.
Yeah, VW emblems are HUUUUGE these days. I think the nose of the Cruze is closely following the Chevy design language. The full-size Malibu came out before the Cruze, so the Cruze copied it. Here is an example :



The above images are not to scale because the Malibu is bigger.

When I go to the car show in LA I will measure the bow-ties on each car.

I kind of like this one because it is SF Giants Orange and Black :
