I've been wanting to re-create a the visual effect used by Sid Sutton to make the Doctor Who title sequences of the 1980's (video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqT_eYDhfRg) but I can't find anything useful. I'm just looking to do static images, of course, but the motion blur technique creates very faint spikes, and doesn't accomplish the colored effect. I'd appreciate any tips you can provide.

Static examples

I would also like to create the halo effect seen here

It was passed through a spinning  spiral to create the motion - the motion isn't important here, just the "pass-through"
