Yup, Friction Sticker. It has dual starburst, the side without the clutch comes with a Friction Sticker installed.

The packaging uses the term, "Modified Butterfly" to describe the shape. I guess that is another one of Duncan's patent's.

That's hilarious, with all the hoopla surrounding Duncan and infringement...and here they are with a rip-off of Yomegas cash cow, though I'm sure it's all legal and such...

I  love how it says "modified butterfly shape" with a registered trademark  tongue

The first yo-yo's I saw that had that were Tom Kuhn ones (3 in one No Jive).

How do you register a shape?

Duncan = retarded.

I'm thinking the the Trademark is on the word "Butterfly".

I saw these for sale in my local game shop and was a bit confiused myself as I thought Yomega had a petent on that as well.  Perhaps they don't.  Oh well, anything is better than the Duncan friction stickers for beginners.
