KEYSER, W.Va. — Mineral County officially has a new seal.
The Mineral County Commissioners invited submissions for a new seal beginning this summer, saying the current black and white version they have been using does not reproduce well.
The winning seal, which features a color likeness of the county courthouse, was designed and submitted by Nate Nickerson of Keyser.
A “self-taught artist,” Nickerson says he has designed company logos and business websites, but his “true joy comes from making invitations for family birthdays, cartoons, comics, and the Safari Sam Kids Club” at his church.
He gives God the credit for his talent.
“Being chosen is a humbling experience,” he told the News & Tribune.
