I’m building a new professional website for my design studio. Graphic design and corporate identity development. As you will see the name of our studio and the concept behind it is all about 1.25 in relation to Phi. I would like to refer to your website on 1 page called “Why Phi”. Just a short introduction on Phi and people will be send to all the great stuff you have presented over the years. Therefore I kindly request if you would have a moment to visit my site (please do send comments) and could give me permission to link to your website. Anyway great stuff and yes do keep me informed. Kind regards, Frans Aerdts, the Netherlands, Venlo.

Hi Gary. Your website is awesome! I found so much information it was overwhelming. I was asked to do a lecture on the Golden Ratio for a local Tampa Arts Group (North Tampa Arts League) which I gave last night. I was so up against it in terms of time I didn’t have time to research how you wanted the credits to your website to read, and so I think I have perhaps given you credit wherever I used material I found on the goldennumber.net, but I have not gone back over all 98 slides to double check the accuracy of how you asked to have the credits to read. (Please note: I did not use your information on all 98 slides!) I have posted the PowerPoint on authorsteam.com and links to that are on my website and my blog. http://www.gainor.blogspot.com. I have let several people who were missing from the lecture in on the link and I expect that many more will check into the PowerPoint. It is totally non-commercial and educational for artists, many of which are friends and associates, and students. When I have collected myself I will go back and double check those credits and make it more readable, and make sure your website is listed in my Resource section, which, unfortunately, I blanked out on that.
Thanks much for so much great information!!!

Hi Gainor. Glad to be such a good resource for you. Thanks for the references and for sharing the topic with your arts league.
I used some reference to finish my research project what great material. Thanks
Thank you for sharing this authorization to use up to ten images from the site in the material. Very useful for everyone.
Thank you for allowing the use of your website to obtain information on the golden ratio and fibonacci numbers. I am taking a math class as part of my prerequisites for nursing classes and needed to come up with examples for a write-up project
