There are multiple resources from Google regarding branding guidelines as well as tools for creating buttons. In the buttons policy they state


Publishers may not alter or obfuscate a Google+ button


And


Publisher must use only the official Google-provided icon or a plain text and link combination


That being said custom buttons are prolific on the web and very hard to police, so you are probably safe to use one, just not technically compliant to the policy.
