Use custom image for Google+1 button?

Finally! Found a nice solution to this problem. So simple and working :) Hope it helps you!

<a href="https://plus.google.com/share?url=ADD_YOUR_URL" >
    <img src="path_to_your_image" alt="Google+" title="Google+"/>
</a>

This is the official example from the google developers page:

Also consider that the URL was updated.

<a href="https://plus.google.com/share?url={URL}" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href, '', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;">
  <img src="https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-64.png" alt="Share on Google+"/>
</a>

use opacity 0 to just make it invisible. Then use background for making it looks like what you want.

<style>
.my_custom_googleplusone{
overflow: hidden;
background: url(blahblah.png);
}

.my_custom_googleplusone:hover{
background: url(blahblah2.png);
}
</style>

<div class="my_custom_googleplusone">
  /// GOOGLE BUTTON WITH OPACITY OF 0 (and z-index 1 with absolute position);
</div>
