Here we see Pidgin being used on an advertisement inviting people to create music for a future party or event. This sign was located along a busy road and sometimes it’s difficult for drivers to actually read the sign. The Pidgin being used here is in large font so as to attract the locals on their commute. As this is a local community, it seems appropriate to use Pidgin. Multilingual Hawaiʻi

The domain in this photo is branding. The purpose of using Pidgin in this case is to attract locals into being the local snack that is exclusive go Hawaii. The connection of locals to this snack could be personal and relating to cultural aspects. The intended audience is locals. It is printed on plastic. The implied message is to get locals to buy the local snacks that they all know of and are familiar with. - CQ Multilingual Hawaiʻi
