There is a Script-Fu script called neon-logo.scm in GIMP that allowed the 
creation of images that looked like they were made out of glowing neon. It 
generated multiple layers so it was easy to turn on/off layers to create the 
on and off images that could be layered to make an animation.

Around half of the Script-Fu scripts that used to be in GIMP have been 
removed as of the current git master version including the neon effect. For 
the next release of GIMP you will have to track down a copy of the script if 
you want to continue using it.
