I would consider this Pidgin because it incorporates both English and Hawaiian in the phrase “Join the Ohana”. This is another poster up at South Shore Grill. The intended audience can also be both locals and people of other ethnic groups living on the island. AJR

The domain in this photo is branding and commodification. The Pidgin on this book is “pass on, no pass back”. This is a reference to a game that the author used to play as a child. It is when someone punches u in the arm and u have to pass it on to someone else. The intended audience is Pidgin speakers and those who are interested in the language of Pidgin. It is printed on card-stock and paper. The implied message is to show many short stories of the author in Pidgin. - CQ

The domain in this photo is branding. The Pidgin in this case entices locals who are familiar with the food manapua. The word manapua comes from mea ono pua‘a. Mea ono meaning delicious pastry or cake and pua‘a meaning pork. The intended audience is locals who know that manapua is a steamed pork bun or char siu bun. It is printed on plastic. The implied message is literally what it means and to sell the product. - CQ
