Aloha Sign

Originally installed in 2023, the Aloha Sign spans 28 feet wide, with each letter standing six feet tall, and has become one of Ala Moana Center’s most popular photo backdrops. The rotating mural series launched in 2025 with a design by Hawai‘i illustrator Punky Aloha, followed by a second installation by Honolulu-based artist Kris Goto. Currently, the Aloha Sign has been hand painted by Kailua-based artist, Kate Wadsworth. Each iteration reflects the unique style and perspective of the artist, reinforcing Ala Moana Center’s ongoing commitment to showcasing local art and culture.
