Strange dark patch/patterns on logic board

Logicboard

Block Image

Please have a look at the above linked picture of the logic board. I am a bit concerned as to what that dark pattern/patch on the logic board is? You can clearly see a dark patch right in the middle of the picture. The Macbook Air is working fine so I doubt this is liquid damage.

Thank you all for your help in assisting me find a bit more regarding this issue.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

singhlookforme, Apple paints their logic boards. Looks like the paint is coming off. For as long as it works, leave it alone.

Thanks for your reply. It looks like a really bad paint job because looking at the board you can see uneven patterns everywhere. It looks really terrible and reduces the resale value of the laptop. I know people might not look inside but if someone does they might think I have sold them a turkey(no pun indented).
