My recommendation for this is to set different CSS classes for your LOGIN and LOGOFF token. By doing this, you will have more control with styling and make your button with a hover state a different image.

That does like like what I was looking for, do you know of any examples of how to do this?  I'm not all that good with CSS classes.

Just a suggestion - you have the DNN-specific answer to altering the button and see that altering the css class is the answer. You could now post your new question (altering css) to a css-specific site/firum.

 You don't have to change the login.ascx (which would affect all portals in your DNN installation), if you set the Text and LogoffText attributes of the <dnn:LOGIN skin object with HTML instead of pure text:

Text='' 

If you want to use image files from your skin directory, there's a little trick I learned from Erik van Ballegoij in this thread (thanks again, Erik!), which makes the image path portable:

Text='<%# "" %>'

Thanks, I think I will use this solution while I figure out how to do the CSS version which is where I need to go eventually...

AFAIK there is no separate LOGOFF token; instead, the LOGIN token renders as Login link if you're logged out, and vice versa. But Cuong Dang is right about CSS if you want to achieve hover effects. So I think the best approach is to combine his suggestion with mine and write the CSS classes into the Text and LogoffText attributes.

Okay, I got the login/logout buttons changed using the above method.  That works pretty good!

The User button was a bit trickier.  I looked through the code and couldn't see a way to distinguish between logged in or not (like the Text and LogoffText variables), so I kludged it a bit.  I removed that token completely and put two TXT/HTML modules there, one visible to unauthenticated viewers, and one to registered users with image links to the registration page.  That works, but with an admin login both show up on the screen.  *grin*  I'm sure there much be a prettier way of doing that.
