Who knows. Youtube only cares about the big players that make them money. I cant imagine what justification they would have for terminating your channel.

If you have a proof that you are the original creator of your artwork/channel icon I would suggest you to prove it to YT and hopefully this could solve your issue and possibly even strike the channel who is using your stuff.

Personal preference : If you are large on YouTube and They stole some of your work with 2 subs just ignore it. I doubt they will terminate you for doing that because Youtube has so Much flaws worse than to care about someone who chose the wrong category. Besides they have tons of employees. No one is protected from Channel art and icons just ignore it like big youtubers. In the end if they checked both your channels they will probably know the small 2 subs channel stole off 508k channel, Besides it has your NAME in the banner so it's advertising you and helping you. (unless they have your name but that's Impersonation which you can report)
