Hi! You can find info about adding it to your page asynchronously here: https://developers.google.com/+/plugins/badge/.

Thanks for the advice! That sounds like a good plan B if I can't get the developers to change the image to text. This is definitely one of the most avoidable yet most frustrating on page issues I encounter. I guess it's time to update my documentation for development.

I would probably hire someone from oDesk to do the work.
