This photo was taken at the Down to Earth grocery store in Kapolei. It says the state motto and it’s common English translation, which both have many interpretations. Many interpret the phrase as advocating for sovereignty. The domain is retail, so the company may be trying to brand themself as a positive contribution to Hawaii. SM

This is a sign for Ili’ili Farms displayed in the produce section of Down to Earth. Signs representing the local farms that Down to Earth sources produce from are displayed throughout the section. The purpose could be to promote the farm, or to help shoppers become more conscious of where their produce comes from. The use of these signs brings awareness to local farmers and reminds customers to shop local. SM

Submitted 12/18/24. This ripped down barricade tape interweaves English "caution" and Spanish "cuidado". This is an example of "authoritative" multilingual signage that has become "noise" in the landscape.
