This is the exit sign for a popular local store that sells local shirts with Pidgin on it. The style of the store is a beach or surfer theme but any local can shop there. Because it’s in Ala Moana Shopping Center, it’s also a site for tourists.

Here we see Pidgin being user as the name of a variety of Poke. The Pidgin implies that this poke is very ono. They probably used Pidgin to emphasize the deliciousness of the poke.

Here we see Pidgin being used in a sign in a retail clothing store to educate probably tourists about where the beaches are and probably some locals who are not aware of where all the beaches are in Hawaii. This is accompanied by a drawing of a hula dancer which I’m not sure what the associated of hula and beaches are. The design is also drawn with a blackboard and chalk looking design to reinforce the education purpose of the sign.
