# identityBanner

Displays information about an artist or performer.

## Overview

The `identityBanner` element displays information directly above the `collectionList`
element and is used to briefly describe its contents. Here’s an example that displays
available action movies that emphasize cars.

```xml
<stackTemplate>
    <identityBanner>
        <title>Available Action Movies</title>
        <subtitle>Cars</subtitle>
    </identityBanner>
    <collectionList>
        <shelf>
            <section>
                <lockup>
                    <img src="http://localhost:9001/images/Car_Movie_250x375_A.png" width="182" height="274" />
                    <title>Movie 1</title>
                </lockup>
                <lockup>
                    <img src="http://localhost:9001/images/Car_Movie_250x375_B.png" width="182" height="274" />
