    It would depend upon what software you are using.

  • Yeah you're right @user287001! I was trying to think of ways on how I could do it on Photoshop or trying to search it on google or youtube but didn't know what to call it. Thanks so much for your help!

One receipe for Photoshop. The result is a bitmap:

  1. Have a simple shape with gradient fill on a black background:

enter image description here

  1. Apply Filters > Blur > Radial Blur > Spin, put the spin center near one edge of the shape

enter image description here

  1. Apply Filters > Blur > Radial Blur > Zoom

enter image description here

  1. Make a selection with polygonal lasso tool and clean the edge. Note that the blur covers large area, have a wide selection

enter image description here

  1. Duplicate the shape layer to have enough density
