Commentary
Prior to this Wrong Answer Q&A, I mused... Somewhere? Anyway, I mused that there would be an answer that would be the wrong answer to the question, but be a correct answer to something else.
This is that question. Beyond that, I shouldn't elaborate, but this is definitely not Luke making up something at random (as if that were not readily apparent (hopefully it was apparent, anyway, or else I've messed up)).
Whims
I went in to the creation of this comic knowing full well that Luck would turn into a super hero, but I did not know what his super logo would be. I had assumed it would be something, however, most likely with the letter "L" slapped on there somewhere.
I found difficulty getting it to look right, however, and it took me a moment to realize why. It's because most super heroes with logos on their chest will do things with their costumes that keep the logo itself from being form fitting. You might be able to count Superman's abs through his tights, but that super-logo of his does not bend to whims of his pectorals (they have whims, you know).
Not wanting to cover up Luke's unrealistically fab abs (seriously, abs generally don't angle that way), I thought I might settle on a simple ellipse shape, like Cheerleadra has on her costume.
Then two things happened. First, I realized that making the logo conform to the whims of Luke's pecs (they have whims now) would be annoying, especially if we see more of this form. Secondly, this was an opportunity to reference Power Girl's famously fantastic costume.
What? That costume is "infamous"? I'm sorry, but I do not believe you are using that word correctly.

Oddly, it looks like that source story was retrieved before it was archived...

I heard it the same way, Mr. Trauger. From Wikipedia: According to character writer Jimmy Palmiotti, "Okay. When the character was created, Wally Wood was the artist that drew Power Girl, and he was convinced that the editors were not paying attention to anything he did. So, his inker said "Every issue, I’m going to draw the tits bigger until they notice it. It took about seven or eight issues before anyone was like, "Hey, what’s with the tits?" And that’s where they stopped. True story." Karyn Pinter. "Jimmy Palmiotti: Time Bomb and Power Girl - the Breast of Friends? - Comics Bulletin". Comics Bulletin.

I thought the story was he increased her bust size issue by issue until his editor *did* complain.

Wally Wood once joked that he could increase Power Girl's bust each time he drew her and nobody would complain. However, that was a joke. A careful examination (For Science!) shows that the consummate professional artist was very conscientious about keeping her on model. (Of course, he created the model in the first place. :-)
