I spent most of the summer working on a redesign of our very old website, and ran into a snag with the typography... Because we use Marker Felt in everything, it's been requested of me to use Marker Felt as the headings on the website.

The presentation I linked to in my earlier post references a site called Typedia that can help you determine the typeface's personality and whether to not to use it for what you are doing. In the case of Marker Felt, the typeface is casual and intended for typical use in multimedia presentation slideshows (Keynote, PowerPoint, etc); whereas Comic Sans MS was/is intended for comics and character quotes. I think it would be okay to use Marker Felt as a header.

Edit: So I tweeted to someone who does this stuff for a living (he really likes these types of questions), and he replied "[It's okay to use a font similar to the logo if] they are a very playful, fly-by-night robotics team… But no, don't use a font similar to the logo, unless it's the same." Thus I retract my original view as I am not convinced it is your true logo font – by looking at the team's twitter profile image, and the image on the website, the true logo font seems to be the brush script that says "Team 27 RUSH".
