Tier 1 Graphics: The Cornelius-based sign and graphics company was selected recently to create a sign for the entrance to Trump National Golf Club, Charlotte on Brawley School Road, Mooresville.

On a recent visit to the club, Eric Trump, executive vice president of development and acquisitions for the Trump Organization, met with residents and asked for their input. A suggestion to add a sign near the community’s entrance was made, and Trump soon accepted bids from local sign companies.

The winning bid was submitted by Matt Dinkel, president, and Brandon Heagle, director of sales at Tier 1 Graphics. Their design includes a coat of arms insignia in metallic gold on a black granite stone entrance marker, 130 inches wide by 51 inches tall and 3 centimeters thick with concrete footings and a stone base.

Dinkel performed on-site sand blasting for text and hand-painted the lettering.
