I have found a better way.

UILabel *next=[ [UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,375,65)];
next.text=@"SIGN IN";
next.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
next.font=[UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica" size:20.0 ];
next.textColor=[UIColor whiteColor];
[self.button addSubview:next];

If your button's image set in setImage state, then the text is not going to display on Button.

If you have to display name on button then we have to set setBackgroundImage and then you can set the title for button.

[btn setBackgroundImage:YOURIMAGE forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[btn setTitle:YOURTITLE forState:UIControlStateNormal];

something, that worked fine for me: I set the Button in InterfaceBuilder and use the tiny Icons near "Position" to define the position of the text. Mouseover shows the code which is applied by InterfaceBuilder. Now if the text doesn't show, due to color, i use a reference to the button and set an attributedTitle:

NSDictionary *atts = [[NSDictionary alloc]initWithObjectsAndKeys:[NSColor whiteColor], NSForegroundColorAttributeName, nil];
    NSAttributedString *example = [[NSAttributedString alloc]initWithString:@"myText" attributes:atts];
    [myExampleButton setAttributedTitle:example];

[yourButton setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"test.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[yourButton setTitle:@"Click" forState:UIControlStateNormal];

This must work.

You need to set the background image of the button, instead of the image, using setBackgroundImage:forState:
