"As the original creator and designer of the logo and banner, I also filed a DMCA against the further use of the r/TIHI logo on reddit."

Thanks, I Love It.

    Unfortunately that has no chance of succeeding. When you sign up to reddit, you give them a license to use the content you submit. It's in the user agreement, section 5 "Your Content": https://www.redditinc.com/policies/user-agreement

    Under GDPR you have the right to your content, including data download and revocation. If you are banned from or restricted access to a website it doesn't strip you of that right. However the complain should have probably been through GDPR and not DMCA.

    No, under the GDPR you don't have the right to have your content removed. You have the right to have personally identifiable data removed, things like names, IP addresses, phone numbers, ...

    I'll link to the EU website that explains what they mean with personal data below, but I don't think a logo qualifies under their definition.

    This doesn't hold any grounds in the EU as copyrights can't be waived, and unless you got paid for it, you can withdraw consent at any time.

    You don't waive your copyright. You grant a license to reddit to use your content.

    Read the link, it's all there:

    You retain any ownership rights you have in Your Content, but you grant Reddit the following license to use that Content:

    This doesn't apply unless you got compensated for your work. Reddit can add anything they like in their agreements, but that won't hold in court.

    The artist can withdraw consent at any time.

    You are confused. What you are describing applies to transferring copyright, not for granting a license while retaining the copyright.

    If things worked the way you described, free software, for example licensed through the GPL, couldn't exist because then the authors could always take away the users' rights by retroactively revoking their license. Fortunately, it doesn't work that way.

    There are cases where artists withdrew consent and their work had to be taken down, and to my knowledge all contracts can be amended or cancelled, especially if they're exploitative like reddits. You have a right to compensation if they profit off of your creative work, be it artwork, music, or writing.
