Brake wear

I just noticed that both my front rotors have a streak near the center of the rotor. I have Akebono ceramic pads that I fitted about 1000 miles ago. Does this seems normal?

If it's a blue-ish tint on the steel that's where pads have bedded in. The other circular mark is a score line where a little rock may have stuck in the edge of your pad and scraped the surface (minor looking).

Mine had similar albeit a bit thinner line near the center like yours. It's fine now after 2000 miles
