Palmeiras was founded in August 1914, represented by the eight stars on the club's crest. According to the information gathered, 6️⃣ the eight stars make direct reference to the month of August, signifying the club's birthdate. Even though there are eight 6️⃣ stars, Palmeiras proudly displays a ninth red star on special occasions, symbolizing the Copa Rio de 1951 victory, considered the 6️⃣ first-ever club World Championship.

Once I found out about the significance of the eight stars to the fans of Palmeiras, these 6️⃣ eight stars began to feel more personal and meaningful. I had a burning desire to know how those stars impacted 6️⃣ the fan base and learn how the team interacted with their supporters. As the true essence of these stars stood 6️⃣ out, I grasped the need to not only celebrate their meaning but also utilize this symbol to strengthen fans' connections 6️⃣ with the club.

In an attempt to strengthen that bond between fan and team, I started the "Verde e Branco Stars" 6️⃣ program, aimed directly at Palmeiras' most devoted fans who display their passion and support furthest. Members are encouraged and given 6️⃣ access to special events and Palmeiras merchandise - star T-shirts, badges, and other exclusive memorabilia celebrating the club crest and 6️⃣ the eight stars.

Following the implementation of the program in June 2024, the number of passionate Palmeiras fans continued to swell 6️⃣ significantly, with many new "Verde e Branco Stars" participating. As a direct result of this uptick in dedicated participants, the 6️⃣ merchandise sales jumped, leading to higher Palmeiras profits. More impressive than the funds generated was the formation of a stronger 6️⃣ collective identity rooted in the club's proud history and tradition.

Throughout my analysis, I realized that harnessing the psychological impact of 6️⃣ these symbols in both understanding and relating to human cognitive processing improved my project's outcomes beyond expectations. Leveraging the power 6️⃣ of empathic designs enabled and enhanced the connection between fans with their affection and dedication towards the club.
