I second these suggestions. In fact you might want to simply start the
shell with a certain environment variable set which will trigger the
banner.
screen -t mytitle env PRINT_BANNER=1 bash
In .bashrc:
if [ -n "$PRINT_BANNER" ]; then
banner ...
unset PRINT_BANNER
fi
You could even use the existing $STY and $WINDOW variables that screen
itself sets (though subshells would print the banner too).
