First of all create a UIButton, with Image and title.

Then add that Button to BarButtonItem

UIBarButtonItem *barButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:customButton];

Yes, but does that imply that I have to completely style the button to look exactly like a normal UIBarButton? The advantage of using a standard UIBarButtonItem is to get the shine in the middle of the button. – Ethan Allen Oct 05 '11 at 06:40
@Ethan Allen :For that you need to design the button image as like the barbuttonItem. Every one will do like that only. – Satya Oct 05 '11 at 06:43

You should create UIView with UILabel and UIImage as subviews. Then create UIBarButtonItem with custom view:

UIBarButtonItem *barButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:customView];
