The new
Jornal Nacional
theme (which had its biggest change in nearly 30 years) isn't actually "new".
It is just over 15 years old, but was, until yesterday, used only for their special editions, during major news events such as the US-led invasion of Iraq, presidential inaugurations or the announcement of a new Pope, for example.
The inauguration of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva as president (2003):
The inauguration of Dilma Rousseff as president (2011):
(Her impeachment last year was introduced with the then-regular theme:

The announcement of Pope Francis (2013):
One thing that should be noticed is that the new graphics and lower-thirds are set in Globotipo, Globo's new custom typeface, which is being rolled out across the network (it was seen before on several ads and promos, but Globo São Paulo was the first to use Globotipo on a regular basis on their news output).
Protoypes and several pictures of the finished font can be seen on this Tweet:

But it wasn't just Globo that launched a new set yesterday. Band's crime newsmagazine,
Brasil Urgente
, also launched a new set (their first physical set after about eight years at virtual sets), as well as new graphics and lower-thirds (based on those used by the rest of the Band news department, as well as the BandNews channel). (I apologize for the poor quality of the video, but better videos didn't show the new set, which was only unveiled halfway through the national segment of the program.)
