What is the term for the short scene/shot (television)?

On TV, what is the term for the shot that appears before going to commercial break (and often appears again before going back to the show after the commercial break is over)? It may be a shot of the show's title or something, perhaps with a voiceover stating the title of the show, or something like that. Thanks.

    I'm not sure if there are other terms for it too, but something showing the TV station or sponsor name is an ident and the bit that shows the programme title is called an ad buffer.
