Yes, that's 牧羊神 + パーン (Pan + Pan). 牧羊神 is now in the names dictionary.  It gets some n-gram counts, but all the WWW pages I get to are false positives such as "牧羊神(パーン)".
I think this is really too obscure to have as an entry.

A bit of a far-fetched submission admittedly, but for your consideration. Meaning behind the logo is the Greek fable of King Midas having the courage to barrack for Pan rather than the much-favoured Apollo in a music contest. See: https://www.dokusyokansoubun.jp/
