Market traders and other key stakeholders are also being asked for their views as Swansea Council launches a public consultation.
It will help finalise plans as the Oxford Street, Union Street and Whitewalls entrances are refreshed and modernised this year.
Recent popular improvements at the venue have included public toilets and a new meeting area and social space, The Market Garden.
Swansea Council cabinet member and joint deputy leader David Hopkins said:
“Swansea Market is a treasure at the heart of our city centre.
“It’s been loved by generations and, to help ensure a bright future, we plan smarter, more visible and vibrant entrances to attract customers and help traders continue to deliver a great service.
“We have three design options for the public to choose from; each aims to be bold and creative, clean, attractive, accessible and welcoming.
“We also want this work to improve security and deter anti-social behaviour and vandalism. I encourage everybody with an interest in the city centre and the market to have their say in our consultation.”
Working with traders and Wales-based consultants Tangent Partnership, the council has created three concept options for the design of the new look of the entrances in Whitewalls, Oxford Street and Union Street.
Also being considered are a number of new standard entrance features such as lighting, lobbies, doors, signs, floors and security.
The council plans for disruption to be minimised when work on the new entrances is carried out this year. Initial work has included the removal of previous entrance canopies and maintenance of the mast structures.
All feedback will be assessed to identify the preferred design and to make the appropriate changes where feasible.
The designs will then go through the formal planning process and project updates will be provided on the market website.
